Two months before the election, Latino Georgians say they support Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump by a 31-point margin, 60% to 29%, with 11% undecided or supporting a third-party candidate, according to a new poll released by UnidosUS and BSP Research.

But in a race that could come down to a few thousand votes, turning support into ballots is vital, and a narrow majority of Latino voters in the state say they haven’t heard anything from either party about registering or voting, the poll found.

In total, 51% of respondents said they had not been contacted by anyone, 23% said they had been contacted by Democrats, 17% by Republicans, 17% by a non-partisan organization and 10% had been contacted about a specific ballot measure.
