Clinton dominating Trump among Florida Hispanics in new poll

Trump by 24 points among likely Hispanic voters in Florida, according to a new poll that shows a significant number of Republican Latinos are unsure of their nominee for the White House.

Clinton’s 54-30 percent lead over Trump with Hispanic voters stands in marked contrast to the U.S. Senate race, where bilingual Republican incumbent Marco Rubio is ahead of Democratic U.S. Rep Patrick Murphy by 48-39 percent, a TelOpinion Research survey conducted for the conservative-leaning Associated Industries of Florida business group shows.



Clinton’s huge advantage over Trump is buoyed by strong support among Democrats (whom she carries 75-13 percent) and independents (among whom she wins 61-20 percent) in the poll of 600 likely Latino voters. Trump’s 63-19 percent lead over Clinton among Republican Hispanics could be much bigger, but 14 percent are undecided. That’s double the number of undecided Latino Democrats.

Those numbers worry Republicans because the polls show Trump is already under-performing 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s final margins with Florida Hispanics — yet there’s a month of campaigning left and Clinton is outgunning Trump in paid Spanish-language TV ads that are playing in heavy rotation in the Miami area.

Reminder: Florida is a state where ground game is crucial, and Clinton clinches the presidency if she wins there.

2. What am I missing??

It says Trump by 24 points in the first sentence. But the data shows Hillary with a 54-30 point advantage, not Trump. Am I not ingesting enough coffee this morning OR is the opening sentence incorrect?

5. She's trying to reach out to Republican women dissatisfied with Trump

I live in a very Red area of Florida. Constant Hillary ads on TV showing clips of her ads over many years talking about children, working women, etc. At the end she says, "I support this message and have over many years"

She never mentions Donald Trump in this ad.

9. I wonder how much Trump's Cuba business hurt

I could see that cutting out whatever extra advantage in the margins he may have picked up among Cubans turned off of Hillary due to President Obama's thawing of Cuba relations.
