INSIGHTS ON AMERICA & THE ECONOMY AMONG YOUNG HISPANICS

Generation Opportunity recently commissioned a poll with the polling company, inc./WomanTrend and highlights some of the results below.

By nearly a 3:1 ratio, Hispanic young adults prefer “reducing federal spending” (69%) to “raising taxes on individuals” (27%) in order to balance the federal budget.
70% of Hispanic young adults would decrease federal spending if given the chance to set America’s fiscal priorities.
A 57%-majority of Hispanics agree that “if taxes on business profits were reduced, companies would be more likely to hire.”
In a separate question, a 56%-majority concurred “the economy grows best when individuals are allowed to create businesses without government interference.”
61% indicated their agreement with “American Exceptionalism” – described as an ideal of freedom and democracy exclusive and unique to the United States.
