Healthcare, immigration and opposing President-elect Donald Trump: These are the issues voters in the 34th Congressional District care most about, according to a new poll. Immigration, opposing Trump, and standing up for constituents each were listed by 17% of respondents as most important. About half of surveyed voters said they would prefer an outsider candidate who has worked as a community organizer, while 70% said they would rather elect someone who raised most of their money in small donations. The poll, which surveyed 400 likely voters in English and Spanish on cellphones and landlines, was conducted Jan. 10 to 14. The poll emphasized primary voters, who are generally more motivated in low-turnout elections, and weighted results according to the gender, age and ethnicity demographics in the district, which is heavily Latino and Democratic.
