Poll: Clinton crushes Trump among Hispanics
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/poll-hispanics-2016-trump-219763Donald Trump has often boasted that he would win with Hispanic voters in a general election.
Now comes some new data to test that dubious theory: Hillary Clinton is leading the 2016 presidential field among Hispanics, according to the results of a new poll of registered Hispanic voters out Thursday morning from Univision and The Washington Post.
The former secretary of state is the top choice of Hispanic voters overall — Democratic, Republican and independent — with 39 percent, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders behind her at 19 percent.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (8 percent), Trump (7 percent) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (7 percent) are all basically tied. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (who has since dropped from the race) had 4 percent and Carson and Kasich each had 1 percent.
Among Hispanic Democrats, Clinton has a strong lead, 57 percent to Sanders’ 28 percent. But that number has gone down from 73 percent in June, when Sanders was at just 3 percent among Hispanics.
