Donald Trump may say he loves Latino voters, but Latino voters are not loving him back, according to a new poll.
Any Democratic presidential candidate would resoundingly carry the Latino vote over the current Republican front-runner if the 2016 election were held today, according to the latest MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll released Friday.
In a hypothetical general election match-up, leading Democrat Hillary Clinton would trounce Trump 69%-22% among Latino voters. Against Vice President Joe Biden, who has not yet said whether he plans to run, Trump would still perform poorly 71% to Bidens 20%.
The latest poll results are exactly the scenario that Republican elites had hoped to avoid in the 2016 election. Trump is ranking even worse than Mitt Romneys disastrous showing among Latinos seen in the 2012 election, when he earned just 27% of their support. The Republican National Committee very publicly stated in its autopsy report following the election that it was imperative for the party to win over Latinos in order to remain competitive in the next presidential race.

(27,315 posts)1. True, but the results against Bush and Rubio are problematic.
Biden 50%, Rubio 42%
Biden 50%, Bush 42%
Biden 54%, Cruz 39%
Clinton 50%, Rubio 44%
Clinton 49%, Bush 45%
Clinton 52%, Cruz 41%
as Dems need a larger % of the hispanic population to win the election. It is early though, so I would not worry too much.

Not one word about Bernie, they didn't even include him in their poll.
