ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the bivariate differences between Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and “Other Latinos” in the percentage of citizens who are registered to vote, intend to vote in the upcoming national election, and state a preference for a Republican candidate. It describes the percent of citizen respondents who intend to vote in the upcoming national election between 2008 and 2016 after excluding “Don’t Know” and “No Response” responses. The chapter explores the percent of citizen respondents who prefer the Republican presidential candidate or member of Congress in the upcoming election. It identifies a number of questions that were asked at least twice between 2002 and 2016 in order to analyze trends in national origin differences across a range of politically salient sentiments, perceptions, and policy preferences. By 2016, there was just one significant national origin difference, and zero national origin differences relative to Puerto Ricans.
