Poll: Trump Nomination May Mean A Shift In Cuban-American Voters

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Donald Trump’s possible nomination may mean a break between Miami-Dade County’s influential Cuban-American voters and the Republican Party, according to a new poll.
According to the poll shared with our news partners at the Miami Herald, Cuban Americans in South Florida dislike Trump so much that his likely presidential nomination may shift them away from the GOP.
In the poll, 37 percent supported Trump. The man who conducted the poll, Dario Moreno, a Florida International University Associate Professor, told the paper this is “the lowest in history that any potential Republican candidate polls among this traditionally loyal demographic.”
. . .
Moreno said the group has been realigning since 2004 with younger voters of Cuban descent and Cuban immigrants opting to identify themselves as Democrats or independents. “With Trump, the real danger is that he’s going to accelerate this realignment in Miami,” Moreno told the paper.

As a bloc, the most conservative group of Latinos are the Cubans. Trump is unpopular with them too.
