Bad news on your support among Latino voters, Trump:
Latino Decisions released polling Monday showing that fully 74 percent of Latinos support Hillary Clinton, while only 16 percent support Donald Trump. Analysts generally assume that the GOP candidate will need at least 40 percent of the Latino vote to recapture the White House but, given the growing number of Latino voters, Latino Decisions estimates Trump will need to carry anywhere from 42 to 47 percent of the Latino vote.
Latinos also feel increasingly motivated to vote in 2016, with 54 percent already more enthused about this election than in 2012 (that’s up six points from April). In 2012, enthusiasm did not reach 50 percent until the last week of October.
Here's several other top lines from the survey:
- 77 percent of Latino voters believe the Republican Party is either openly "hostile" toward Latinos or indifferent about them.
- Latino voters support the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by an 81-13 percent margin and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program by a 83-14 percent margin.
- 91 percent of Latino voters said the Republican effort to block the DAPA and expanded DACA programs made them one of the following: disappointed, angry, sad, or frustrated.
- 67 percent of Latino voters said the Senate should take a vote this year on President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland.
