(Washington Examiner) A new poll shows Republicans gaining ground with Hispanic voters in two swing states.
The poll, conducted by the American Principles Project and released first to the Washington Examiner, surveyed 500 likely general election Latino voters in Arizona and Nevada and found former President Donald Trump running close to President Joe Biden in both states.
In a head-to-head matchup, the poll found Trump and Biden even in Arizona, with Biden leading in Nevada by 2 points.
“Joe Biden and Democrats should be very worried,” APP Director of Hispanic Engagement Alfonso Aguilar said. “Although for years they have taken the Hispanic vote for granted, their far-left extremism is finally driving many Hispanics to reconsider Republican candidates like Donald Trump who are closer to their values.”

Values were also a part of the survey, which asked respondents to answer several culture war questions.
The poll found that 60% of respondents support laws preventing men from competing in women’s sports, 57% support banning gender reassignment surgeries for children under 18, and 64% support requiring schools to notify parents if their child begins identifying as transgender.
On abortion, 67% support a 12-week ban with exceptions for rape, incest, danger to the life of the mother, and severe birth defects.
Fifty-seven percent of the APP poll’s respondents oppose using the label “Latinx” to describe their community, 79% agree with the statement that many in America are “too focused on race,” and 67% agree that schools should stick to subjects like reading and math while leaving “sex and racial issues” to parents.
