And so the polls showing Latinos soundly rejecting Trump and the GOP’s hate continue to be released and this one is downright great news for Democrats. This one shows historic support for Hillary in Florida. Donald Trump only at 30% support in this poll.
Clinton at 60%. +30, which is huge. Obama won Florida Latinos +21 in 2012.
The pollster mentions that at this rate, Florida will become another reliable blue anchor state like California. Good things folks and please keep working!
Clinton’s 60-30 percent advantage over Trump with Florida Hispanics overall is fueled by outsized support from voters of Puerto Rican descent, who favor her 71-19 percent, according to the survey of 800 likely Hispanic voters jointly conducted for Univision by Republican-leaning Tarrance Group and Democratic-leaning Bendixen & Amandi International.
Trump, meanwhile, has relatively weak backing from Cuban Americans. They historically vote Republican but only support him over Clinton by 49-42 percent, the poll shows. And Hispanic voters of other national origins heavily prefer Clinton over Trump by 71-20 percent. The overall error margin for the poll is 3.5 points.
“These Florida numbers are not only ominous for Donald Trump — they’re downright terrifying for Republicans nationwide,” said Fernand Amandi, Bendixen & Amandi’s pollster, who called Clinton’s 30-point margin “historic.”
“The share of the Hispanic vote is growing every election and this will be the third presidential election in Florida where Hispanics trend heavily against the GOP,” Amandi said. “And if that continues, it could turn Florida into the next California in future presidential elections, a blue anchor state.”
xHillary Clinton has historic 30-point lead over Trump w/FL Hispanics. That should "terrify" the GOP https://t.co/1Ljm6HZr4X
