The media, fully aware of this dynamic, tends to emphasize the closeness of races because they understand how their narrative influences public interest and where their advertising revenue comes from.

Most Hispanic Americans support abortion access: AP-NORC poll

For decades, some political analysts have sought to depict Hispanic Americans as “socially conservative” — and indeed many of them are. But a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that a solid majority of this diverse population — whether they’re Catholic, Protestant or religiously unaffiliated — believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases. It’s a finding of interest as debate over abortion access is in the spotlight ahead of the U.S. election on Nov. 5. According to the poll, about 4 in 10 U.S. Hispanics identify as Catholic, about one-third as Protestant or “other Christian,” and about one-quarter as religiously unaffiliated.
