Furthermore, is there any evidence or polls that show this increases the ability of the Spanish-speaking hispanic to relate to the politician? Any evidence that this increases the politician's electability among that constituent?

No I don't think so.. Bill Richardson speaks spanish and is hispanic, but still he is not very popular for president, not even in his state New Mexico...

I am not sure that there is any poll that would prove it because you would have to frame the question right. Polls on the reason for a vote are notoriously unreliable.
Having said that, there does seem to be a noticeable difference in the vote totals among Hispanic voters for candidates that can speak some Spanish. A prime example of this factor would be the totals of George W. Bush as opposed to other Republican Presidential nominees in the past.
Obviously, especially among first generation immigrants (a group that historically is only semi-fluent in English at best, regardless of their native land), the ability to communicate with that group in their native language is essential to conveying any message.

What any distant places guy or woman has to do is to learn the language of this us of a in case you stay and working right here. For Hispanics, by using version interior the sound and each and all of the semantic shape of their very own language its greater good, yet not impossible. while you're from yet another us of a and meet somebody who speaks your comparable language, you will possibly need to communicate in regardless of language you communicate. And in this us of a maximum folk speaks loud, and in case you hate Hispanics, you will locate it stressful. i like spanish, yet anybody has their very own opinion and that i appreciate that. This us of a is that great for its variety and the skill of residing respecting each and each others subculture, we'd desire to continually not permit it lost for nonsense. i think of the pendejo its the guy who reported it and there could be a particular area for that fool,the place he may be the only one. and you write somewhat nicely "pendejo" .Why dont you learn greater constructive spanish words.
