“Latinos view Trump’s poor response to the pandemic as the cause of the crisis,” pollster Gary Segura said.

Seventy percent of Latinos gave President Donald Trump poor marks for his handling of the coronavirus, while 66 percent who are registered to vote said they support Joe Biden, according to a poll released Monday as Democrats began their virtual national convention.

Latino registered voters’ support for Biden, who will officially accept the party’s nomination this week, rose 5 percentage points from May, while Latinos' disapproval of Trump was up 14 percentage points over the same four months, the poll showed.

“Responding to COVID-19 is the gorilla at the table. It is a giant factor that Latinos are considering as the most important issue that they are facing. It eclipses health care costs and unemployment,” said Gary Segura, a principal with Latino Decisions polling firm, which conducted the poll.

The poll showed that 73 percent of respondents agreed that Trump ignored the early warning signs of the virus and downplayed its seriousness.

2. Those are good numbers but I would like to see their disapproval go up even more,

hopefully up into the 80s.
