Mexican-Americans tend to vote Democratic (in 1960, the John F. Kennedy presidential campaign boosted the Mexican American vote to over 80% for Kennedy). However, Mexican-Americans in recent decades had a low turnout on election day. In 1984, 37 percent of Hispanic and Latino Americans voted for Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush targeted Hispanics and won 35% of their votes in 2000, and 40% in 2004 and the fact that his brother Jeb Bush is married to a Mexican woman (Columba Bush).
