Hispanic registered voters consider halting gun violence a top political priority, ranking the issue alongside concerns about the economy and affordability, according to a poll shared with HuffPost on Thursday.

The nationwide survey highlighted the unique importance of firearm safety to a demographic that both parties struggle to reach, pointing to an opportunity for Democrats to broaden their appeal, given the partys strong support for tougher gun laws.

The national survey was conducted from Aug. 28 to Sept. 10 by Global Strategy Group on behalf of the Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund, a reform group, and BOLD America PAC, which supports progressive Hispanic candidates.

When asked to rank the urgency of political issues on a scale of one to five, some 79% of respondents viewed stopping school shootings as the top political issue the highest share that any single issue received. Increasing the affordability of everyday items like gas and groceries trailed close behind at 78%.

Latino voters expressed similar concern about mass shootings in general, with 71% ranking it as a top political issue.
