The Modesto Bee covers UCLA LPPI and Berkeley IGS Poll findings on the political divide between California's Latina and Latino voters

September 13, 2026

The Modesto Bee ran a Press-Enterprise report by Jeff Horseman on the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute brief co-authored by IGS Co-Director and UC Berkeley sociology professor G. Cristina Mora, examining how California's Latina voters are more likely than Latino men to embrace progressive politics and opposition to the Trump agenda. Drawing on data from the May 2026 Berkeley IGS Poll of 1,912 Latino registered voters in California, the piece contextualizes the findings for Central Valley and Inland Empire readers, where Latinos constitute a slight majority of residents and are considered a pivotal voting bloc ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
