An excerpt from this recent article:
Pew Forum: ¡Here Come 'Los Evangélicos'!
"The prayer breakfast offers a vivid illustration of the growing presence and increasing political influence of Latino evangelicals, who now make up some 15% of the rapidly expanding Hispanic population in the U.S., according to a recent survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Hispanic Center. That survey also shows that among eligible Latino voters, evangelicals are twice as likely as Latino Catholics to identify with the Republican Party (37% vs. 17%). Latino evangelicals also are far more likely than Latino Catholics to describe themselves as conservative (46% vs. 31%).
In short, if Republicans have a prayer in making deep inroads into the Hispanic community, evangelicals may well provide their most direct route."
This is a growing problemo that looks to infiltrate every nook and cranny of American life.
