Clinton’s 30-point lead in Florida Hispanic poll is ‘terrifying’ to GOP nationwide

[NutmegYankee]

MIAMI — Hillary Clinton is besting Donald Trump by an historic 30-point margin among Florida Hispanics, according to a new bipartisan poll that indicates Latinos could play an outsized role in delivering the White House to a Democrat for the third election in a row.

Clinton’s 60-30 percent advantage over Trump with Florida Hispanics overall is fueled by outsized support from voters of Puerto Rican descent, who favor her 71-19 percent, according to the survey of 800 likely Hispanic voters jointly conducted for Univision by Republican-leaning Tarrance Group and Democratic-leaning Bendixen & Amandi International.

Trump, meanwhile, has relatively weak backing from Cuban Americans. They historically vote Republican but only support him over Clinton by 49-42 percent, the poll shows. And Hispanic voters of other national origins heavily prefer Clinton over Trump by 71-20 percent. The overall error margin for the poll is 3.5 points.

“These Florida numbers are not only ominous for Donald Trump — they’re downright terrifying for Republicans nationwide,” said Fernand Amandi, Bendixen & Amandi’s pollster, who called Clinton’s 30-point margin “historic.”

9. Re: "relatively weak backing from Cuban Americans" we should thank Obama

for making the moves to open up relations with Cuba. It has been conventional wisdom that all people with Cuban backgrounds vote Republican every time because it is the Republicans that will keep hating on Castro.

Obama had the wisdom to see that we are now dealing mostly with people 2 and 3 generations removed from the Batista exile. And guess what, Fidel is basically dead and Raul is transitional. Some of the younger Cuban-Americans are coming to realize that the way to make this transition work is to engage.

You can bet that this election was part of Obama's decision process for opening up Cuba. He has completely obliterated conventional wisdom. I think Florida wil be a big victory, with or without that Cuban vote. But this will be extra icing on the cake and move Florida (like Virginia) to deep purple status in future elections.

18. The biggest reason is Trump's obvious vile attitude toward Hispanics...

Even a lot of Cubans who support keeping the Cuban sanctions are voting for Hillary because of that factor.

16. On a related note, could we please have a moratorium on the words...

..."Terrifying" "Bombshell" and "Devastating" until after the election?

If I had to take a shot every time I read these words referencing one candidate or the other, I'd have serious alcohol poisoning.

...surprisingly, seem to be unpopular.
