[ailsagirl]

Hillary Clinton is absolutely crushing Donald Trump with Latino voters, as Clinton has built a 62 point lead according to the new NBC/WSJ/Telemundo Latino poll.

1. I'm quite surprised it is that low. n/t

[chillfactor]

2. same here...

I thought it would be higher than that.

3. With her overwhelming support from blacks and hispanics it's amazing that it's close

at all.

Which demographic is so weak it offsets such strong support?

5. 62 pts. ahead means an 82% to 18% split.

Not even close.

6. Yes, with Latinos, so why is she running only 4-ish points ahead on national avgs?

The leads she has amongn minorities would suggests at least one demographic is seriously under-performing in the polling.

I've noticed Trump does his best with likely voter polls while HRC does best with registered voters. That seems to suggest HRC does better with people ready and determined to vote. So care must be applied when looking at the running avgs but still. With very strong minority support, it's closer than might be expected against the worst republican candidate in the history of that party

7. I hate to say it, but if anyone but Trump were

the nominee for the GOP, Hillary would be in trouble, imo.

9. Actually … a 62-point lead would be: Hillary Clinton 80% vs. Donald Trump 18%

[rateyes]

11. actually it would be 81 to 19. That's, of course, assuming 100% are voting one way or the other.

oh well. i was close enough for govt work. 😁

12. rateyes—They don’t. Since 2000, two-party vote was between 96.25 and 99.00 percent.

I deliberately leave a one- to three-percent buffer.

[rateyes]

13. I know. I was simply making a point that Latino

Support is strong.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. That was my take, too.

Like where does he even get 14%?

[MFM008]

4. I just read somewhere its

74 points.................. polls.................

[Demsrule86]

15. I don't buy that.

No way it is that low.

[NewJeffCT]

16. by all accounts, Romney was a disaster with Hispanic voters

and Obama won them by "only" 44%. Clinton is winning Hispanic voters by almost 50% more than Obama.

Now, if we can get Hispanic turnout to increase over 2012 and keep African-American turnout about the same, Trump is in a disastrous position to start.

[Demsrule86]

17. Obama won 71% of the Hispanic vote

He did horribly...only W was able to get any Hispanic vote. He won 40 % the first time and 44% the second time... Trump will do worse.
