In all three states, Clinton would likely not have won without strong support among Hispanics. For example, in Texas, Clinton topped Obama by only 4 percentage points in the overall vote but earned a 34-point margin over Obama among Latinos. With Hispanics accounting for 32% of Texas voters (up from 24% in 2004), Clinton\u2019s margin among this group more than offset (by a factor of slightly less than 3-to-1) her losing margin among other voters. In California, where they accounted for 30% of the Democratic primary electorate, an increase from 16% in 2004, Hispanic voters accounted for slightly more than Clinton\u2019s overall margin of victory. <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/pubs\/759\/hispanics-give-clinton-crucial-wins\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this year&#8217;s primary elections in three states &#8212; California, Texas and New Mexico &#8212; Latino voters more than accounted for Sen.
