## Summary

Hispanic voters who backed Democrats in the 3 November midterm election were more likely to cite the economy than immigration as their main concern, according to an NBC News exit poll. The findings suggest affordability played a larger role in their choices, amid a reported 28-point shift towards Democrats since 2024.

Forty-five per cent named the economy as the country’s most important issue, compared with 15 per cent who named immigration; 63 per cent of those prioritising the economy voted Democrat. Sixty-two per cent said the cost of living was crucial to their vote, and 70 per cent of that group backed Democrats. Immigration enforcement also mattered: 43 per cent called it crucial, and 59 per cent of them voted Democrat. The article says Democrats regained majorities in both chambers of Congress.
