Clinton, Sanders crush Trump among Hispanics in national poll

[cigaretteman]

Donald Trump may have boasted about some entrance polls at the Nevada caucuses that had him winning the Hispanic vote, but a new poll released on Thursday have the Democrats absolutely crushing him among that demographic.

The poll from Univision and The Washington Post has Trump dead last among all candidates while Hillary Clinton is the overwhelming choice of Hispanics across both parties. Overall, she’s the top choice with support from 39 percent while Trump only has support from 7 percent, tied with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Democrat Bernie Sanders comes in second at 19 percent.

Hispanics also have an increasingly negative view of Trump as 8 in 10 Hispanic voters view him unfavorably, which includes 7 in 10 who view him “very unfavorably.” Last summer, a Univision poll taken after his Mexican “rapist” comments had 7 in 10 having a negative view of him and 6 in 10 saying they viewed him “very unfavorably.”



When broken down along party lines, Clinton still dominates while Trump does slightly better.

Among Democratic Hispanic voters, Clinton has support from 57 percent of them. On the Republican side, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio leads at 27 percent and Trump is second at 22 percent. Cruz comes in third at 19 percent.

The poll also points to signs of trouble if Trump wins the GOP nomination: He fares the worst among the GOP candidates in hypothetical head-to-head matchups against Clinton and Sanders in the general election.

Clinton has a 57-point lead against Trump and Sanders leads by 56 points.

In the 2012 election, Republican Mitt Romney lost the Hispanic vote by a 44-point margin.

The poll was conducted among 1,200 Hispanic registered voters and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

I guess it's a good thing 7 out 10 Mexicans are illegal.

Trump will be what eventually costs Republicans Texas. GOP down there already concerned about the presumptive gop nominee's racism.

You do know that being Hispanic is not a race, right?

no they are not. first of all, Hispanics don't vote. second of all, he's not racist

 

[ottumwan in tx]

you keep saying this, but what is it then? don't they put it as a race on census forms?

 

[The Tradition]

you keep saying this, but what is it then? don't they put it as a race on census forms?

There are white Hispanics and black Hispanics. It's not race, it's ethnicity, and to a lesser extent, national origin.

On the EEO-1 form, employers determine if workers are Hispanic first, and then parcel out white, black, Asian, Pacific Islanders, etc.

If you wanted to describe Trump as xenophobic, that still wouldn't be entirely accurate, but it's closer than the racism charge.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

well, I guess you are right trad. but according to pew research, by 2020, the census shall correct it:


"To address these challenges in preparation for the 2020 decennial census, the Census Bureau is considering asking everyone living in the U.S. about their race or origin in a combined question. In other words, the form would ask people to identify their race or origin and would include Hispanic along with black, white, Asian, American Indian and Pacific Islander.

Preliminary results from some experiments using the combined question show that when Hispanic origin is integrated into the race question, a large majority of Latinos (81% on average) mark just the Hispanic box and no other race category. "


note: but it's self perception, "what do you consider yourself" , sort of like gender

I can't see too many scenarios where a Dem would ever win Texas. I'm too lazy to check, but I'd bet the last time the GOP lost Texas was with Goldwater?

But the OP's point still stands. The GOP won't win the majority of ANY non-white group in November.

The Republican Party still thinks in the 20th century. Dems like that.

but they can vote

I would bet you whatever amount of $ makes you nervous that Trump couldn't define the difference between a racist and a xenophobe, and double down that he would quickly insult whomever had the gall to ask him the question.

Another reason the whites should support Trump.

Many of the members are still stuck in the 19th century.....

I was just told they are white.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

The interesting thing about a Trump v Clinton contest is that each of their "ceilings" is apparently well under 50%. Certainly an opportunity for an independent to step in and make for an interesting presidential contest.

I know Bloomberg has talked about running.....

Except 14,000,000 of them are not eligible to vote.

that doesn't matter on the aca. They sign up for that despite. Obama telling lies saying they can't.The dems are scrambling hard to get their vote to count - much like dead people's votes, which are much coveted by dems

 

[augHAWK]

It's funny how, according to Libs, you can only call a rapist a rapist (or a murderer a murderer or a drug pusher a drug pusher) if he's not Mexican. Otherwise, you're racist.

Thank you for following the rules here. Oppress white people is at the top of the list of things to do for all liberals.

Texas will be red until Mexico reclaims is. Demographics could be favorable to Democrats in a couple of states, however. Colorado, New Mexico, and even a state like North Carolina have rapidly growing Latino populations. If elections stay close the next few cycles the very thin margin of victory in a lot of states could hinge on Latino turnout.

Evidence?

Which, even if it were true, would have absolutely no bearing on the millions who are eligible and their growing numbers.

 

[Rustys Dad]

Shocker that Hispanics don't support a guy who is ready to send them packing as soon as he is elected ...

They're really horrible at turning out.
