Latinos now represent over 14 percent of the U.S. population, and estimates for the 2008 elections show Latinos will contribute 8 percent of votes cast. The Latino National Survey (LNS), with 8,634 Latino respondents in 15 states and the DC metro area, allows for detailed analysis—by national origin, generation, state and metro area—of the underlying trends and dynamics at work among this complex and diverse ethnic minority. This public presentation will focus on findings from the 800-person New York state sample, examining Latino pan-ethnic identity and politics; intra-Latino group relations; civic/political participation; partisanship; and immigration and other policy views.  A 45-minute presentation of the data will be followed by a question-and-answer period, open to the audience.
