Nearly half of respondents said their standard of living is worse now than it was two years ago. Cortez Masto’s economy has damaged her standing among Hispanics. In August, she led by 18 points among Hispanics . Now she is only leading by seven .
“Forty-eight percent of Hispanics named the economy/inflation as the number one issue, higher than whites and Blacks ,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, said.
