Abstract: Objectives The objective of this study is to examine the role of religious identification in shaping the partisan affiliation of Latinxs. Methods Using the 2006 Latino National Survey and the 2012 Pew National Survey of Latinos, I conduct an ordinary least squares regression of partisan affiliation among Latinxs by religious affiliation, logistic regressions of presidential voting among Latinxs, and I estimate the predicted probabilities of presidential voting among Latinxs by religious affiliation. Results Latinx evangelical Protestants are less likely than Latinx evangelical Catholics to self‐identify as Democratic and to vote for a Democratic presidential candidate. Conclusion Among Latinx Catholics, the growth of the evangelical community signals greater support for the Democratic Party.
