[left-of-center2012]

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders are the top choices for Latinos planning to vote in the Democratic presidential primary, according to a newly released Univision poll ahead of Thursday’s debate in Houston.

Biden took 22 percent and Sanders took 20 percent support from Latinos in the poll, while former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro — the only Latino running for the Democratic nomination — got 12 percent, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris got 11 percent and 8 percent, respectively, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke scored 6 percent. No other candidates scored more than 2 percent with Latinos.

A large majority of Latinos, 73 percent, say they plan to vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election next year, while 16 percent said they plan to vote for President Donald Trump and another 11 percent are undecided. In head-to-head matchups with the president, Biden and Sanders performed marginally better than other Democrats among Latinos, garnering 71 percent support each. The poll, conducted by Univision Noticias surveyed 1,043 registered Latino voters nationally between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6.

The survey also found 69 percent of Latino voters nationally think Trump’s language in speeches and on Twitter bears a “great deal” or “good amount” of responsibility for the mass shooting in El Paso last month. A similar percentage said they think the El Paso shooter was influenced by the president.
