The PEW Research Center did a study to see what's the beliefs among Latin Americans in the USA and in various Latin American countries (including Puerto Rico) regarding several topics. Below are the results.

The DR is all over the place, but at least 70% of Dominicans:

1. Oppose gay marriage.
2. Oppose legal abortion.
3. Believe women must obey their husbands.
4. Say religion is very important in their lives.
5. Believe that using contraception is not inmoral.

Other interesting findings are:

1. 54% believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong.
2. 57% believe that the government should promote religious values and beliefs.
3. 56% don't believe in evolution.

The results are mostly not surprising when one considers that the DR is and always has been a very conservative country.

The 54% that think sex outside of marriage is wrong should be asked again when there spouse's are not in the room.

I hope they don't do the European thing here where they have a coin box on the public toilets. Because I'm so poor if they charged a peso to use the toilet I would have to puke
This stuff should really be in the clown bin

Based on the numbers we should dare to say that Dominicans are indeed as conservative as Republicans in the USA, then, why in the world most Dominicans lean and vote towards the Democrats?

Because Democrats support illegal immigration, dreamers, free stuff from the government...etc.
