ith Presidential candidate Donald Trump's convening of his newly-created
Hispanic Advisory Council last week, the issues of who are "Hispanic
leaders" and how they define the issues have come to the forefront
within the Latino community. While the polls focus on the adults or registered
voters when asking Latinos their views, such polling of Latino leaders
is largely absent. The National Institute for Latino Policy has developed
the National Latino Opinion Leaders Survey to address this lacuna, given
the important role of Latino community leaders plays in setting its agenda
and framing issues.
To our knowledge, no comparable ongoing survey of Latino opinion leaders exists at present. The National Latino Opinion Leaders Survey, therefore, is a unique resource that provides yet another window into the opinions of this important segment of the national electorate.
This online survey was conducted by the National Institute for Latino Policy (NiLP) during August 14-22, 2016. A total of 389 Latino opinion leaders participated from 31 states, Puerto Rico and Guam.
This 14-page report covers the following topics:
- Presidential Handicapping
- Party Responsiveness
- The Trump Effect
- Top Issues
- Celebrity Politics
