Trump can’t win with 11% of Latino support nationally. Trump’s support in Florida among Latinos is way down as well. Clinton's numbers have risen and Trump’s are plummeting among Latinos post-debate.
Keep in mind, Romney in 2012 had 27% of the Latino vote. Trump’s highest Latino support in this poll registered at 17.2%. Now it's less than 11%.
Trump chooses to attack Latinos incessantly and this is the result.
Hillary Clinton’s support with Latino voters is at 83% nationally while Donald Trump is at around 11%, according to the latest New Latino Voice (NLV) online tracking poll from Florida International University and Hispanic mobile advertising company Adsmovil.
Before this week’s 83% result, Clinton’s highest number was 81% in July. Her lowest since July was 74%. In contrast, Trump’s 10.6% this week is his lowest number since April. His highest number was 17.2% in June.
And these little nuggets from their Florida polling.
Trump is literally in free fall among Florida Latinos.
Trump also saw a significant decrease with Florida’s Latino voters in this week’s poll, which was conducted days after the first presidential debate. The pre-debate NLV poll had Trump with 29.3% of Latino support in Florida. The post-debate poll now has Trump at 17.6%. Meanwhile, Clinton’s support jumped from 58.3% to 76.5%.
His attack on Alicia Machado has backfired “YUGE”!
This might be called the [Alicia] Machado effect,” said Eduardo Gamarra, political science professor at FIU and director of the Latino Public Opinion Forum.
The Cuban embargo story has stripped away support from Trump in Miami.
Gamarra added that the story claiming that Trump’s company had violated the U.S. embargo against Cuba by spending money on the island, might have also been a factor in Trump losing support with Latinos
In this week’s Miami-Dade portion of the NLV poll, Trump’s support dropped from 25.5% to 20%, while Clinton’s support went from 61.3% to 71.3%
