BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨: New @DataProgress
poll shows that Puerto Ricans on the Island Overwhelmingly Support the Immediate Right to Vote for President and Support Vice President Biden over President Trump. #PuertoRico #Election2020 Open 🧵

60 % of respondents said that they would vote for Vice President Biden if they could vote for president. #PuertoRico #Election2020

Support for Biden is sustained in both under 45 and over 45 groups and across gender. #PuertoRico #Election2020

Polling suggests that 43 % of Puerto Ricans don’t consider themselves members of either the Democratic or Republican parties. Instead, their primary political affiliation is to local political parties. #PuertoRico #Election2020

Ideologically, 44% of respondents describe themselves as Very or Somewhat Conservative and 32 % describes themselves as Moderate. Results were similar across age and gender. #PuertoRico #Election2020

CLARIFICATION: Notions of conservatism and liberalism can differ from those in the U.S. Furthermore, local government officials may self-identify as Democrat or Republican, but they don't run under the banner of those parties in local elections. #PuertoRico #Election2020

In fact, the PNP - statehood party - ticket includes a Democrat for Governor and a Republican for Resident Commissioner. #PuertoRico #Election2020

The acute sense of disenfranchisement in Puerto Rico is loud and clear. 77% of respondents want the right to vote for president right now, regardless of future political status. #PuertoRico #Election2020

Methodology: 439 Puerto Rico voters were surveyed from October 19 to 26, 2020 by @edoardo_ortiz @GiovanniEPagan @andresbrauer @lgsanchezconde
