New Latino poll & the power of endorsements

From the LA times-

"Harris leads 57% to 33% in the National Hispanic Voters Public Opinion Survey conducted by Florida International University in Miami, taken between Oct. 10 and Oct. 22. That’s close to Biden’s 59%-38% lead over Trump in the 2020 election.

Nearly 1 in 5 voters said they would be motivated by an endorsement from Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny, who came out for Harris on Sunday, shortly after the survey was taken. A similar number of respondents said they were motivated by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris."

But to be fair this was pre MSG rally. At that point they might have just been rapists and murderers. It's really hard to keep up with what insults he is saying about what minority day to day.

But more importantly she hasn't lost support. That's going to be one of the big stories of the election. Did black and Latino male voters fall off from 2020. If the last cnn poll showing trump losing support from 2020 with non college whites by like 5 points has any cred, Then there really isn't anywhere for Trump to pick up new voters. Def would come down to if black men don't show in the blue wall cities. But I know those young ladies are going to cushion that possible blow. In fact it looks like they already have

Most of these Latinos were either not going to vote, or vote somewhat unenthusiastically.

Now many are motivated to VOTE against him and for her.

Sleeping tiger... or in Spanish, it is Tigre durmiendo (how I learned it).
