Why aren't pollsters asking how religion affects Latinos' voting?

Why aren't pollsters asking how religion affects Latinos' voting? 

They are probably asking. They are simply not publishing the cross tabs. I promise you the internal polling will.

When I was a kid in Texas, Cubans were a new thing, Puerto Ricans were in New York, there were no Central Americans and Latinos were generally called Mexicans or Tejanos, the latter being a current word as well and referring to people who were in Texas before either the Tennesseans or the Santa Anna. In those days, we were taught some Spanish, but in public schools, speaking Spanish was not allowed. 

It was only in 1955 that Hispanics were not considered inferior Whites, subject to discrimination in policing (as if that has changed) and in jury selection. Hernandez v. Texas tried to change that, but Courts do not change attitudes, even among the police.

Older Latino Catholics liked Reagan, probably because of the 1986 Amnesty. Bush 43 was trying for the same thing, but the racist Republican caucus in the House would have none of it. As for recent immigrants, they reflect the fact that the Church in Latin America is seen as favoring the rich, light-skinned demographics, with the Pentecostals filling the need for ministers. 

The young are as likely to be Nones as any of their peers. Some young Latinos still cross themselves and kiss their fingers as a prayer against misfortune. Immigrants brought their religion and class issues with them.  Quite a few are undocumented. There were 11 million, but 2008 sent some to greener pastures back home.

If anyone might do a poll, it would be NBC/Telemundo. That may have some religious cross-tabs and the right amount of sampling. If you are really concerned, send a copy of your column to Jose' Diaz-Balart. 

And quit obsessing about abortion politics - it is an indicator but there is absolutely no electoral angle or workable legislation. None, zero, zip, nada. Interview Chief Justice Roberts and he will explain why it would violate both federal supremacy and due process. These issues may come up in the next few weeks in the Barrett hearings.
