TX Poll: Young Latinos more enthused with Biden than Clinton
A University of Houston-Univision News poll released Tuesday found Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden leading with 66 percent of the Latino vote in Texas, compared to 25 percent for President Donald Trump.That puts Biden in line with Democrat Hillary Clinton was in 2016 — she won 66 percent of the Latino vote compared to Trump’s 28 percent that year, according to exit polls.
“Generation X and Boomers …they’re a little bit more enthused with Biden than they were, particularly with Clinton,” said Jeronimo Cortina, associate professor of political science at UH and associate director of the Center for Mexican American Studies.
Tuesday’s poll — published hours before the first debate between Biden and Trump — showed that Latino support for Biden has nearly doubled since Super Tuesday when Biden had a lead of about 23 points in a previous UH study.
