N2 - In 2004, the vote margin between the major party presidential candidates was slim but wider than in 2000, leading scholars, pundits, and politicians to ask: among which demographic groups did George W. Bush specifically and the Republican party more generally make gains? Using data from the 2000 and 2004 National Annenberg Election Surveys (NAES), we examine the extent to which Bush and the Republicans made gains among an increasingly important group and growing segment of the U.S. population, Hispanic Americans. Results from the NAES demonstrate that Bush made inroads with Hispanics in 2004. While Bush improved his support among Hispanics, Hispanic party identification in 2004 was comparable to identification in 2000.
