HuffPo has an article talking about the new Latino Decisions Tracking Poll and how it compares to similar tracking poll for 2012.
In early September 2012, we asked respondents, “If the election were held today who would you vote for, Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?” Including leaners and supporters for each of the two candidates, 65 percent said Obama and 26 percent indicated Romney, a gap of 39 points. When we asked the same question this past week in the contest between Clinton and Trump, the gap was a whopping 51 points: 71 percent for Clinton to just 18 percent for Trump.
Now let's look at 2012
me gusta lo que veo, this is no surprise because even in 2008 Hillary beat Obama among latinos 2:1.
As I have written before, the big problema es turnout, we have a hard time getting our community, specially young ones , out to the polls.
In 2012, 37 percent of Latinos said they were enthusiastic and were even more enthusiastic than they were for the preceding, 2008 election. So far in 2016, the 48 percent Latino enthusiasm rate is higher. The 11-point gap between 2012 and 2016 is significant because it demonstrates that Latino turnout rates are likely to exceed those of 2012. Higher Latino turnout and historically low levels of support for the Republican candidate do not bode well for Trump and the Republicans.
This is a no brainer… but we can't just rely on miedo del Trumpo, as the media keeps making Trump's bombastic rhetoric "the new normal" we run into el problema of Latinos "acclimating" to his hate speech"
How about downballot? is El Trumpo affecting party perceptions? well, I'll say ¡Sí!
This is just increíble, almost half of Latinos have a visceral negative reaction to the GOP. Guess they should've listened to their 2012 "Autopsy"… I say they stayed in the morgue.
Things to look at in the next weeks…. compare the new info to 2012
