Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) holds a sizable lead over President Trump among Latino voters nationally, though his lead is less than the one Hillary Clinton had over Trump with the voting bloc in 2016.

A new poll of Latino voters by NBC News, The Wall Street Journal and Telemundo found that 62 percent plan to vote for the Democratic nominee in the fall, while just 26 percent plan to support the president.

Clinton won 66 percent of the Latino vote in 2016, which itself was a drop from the 71 percent of Latino voters who supported former President Obama's reelection in 2012.

Trump does better among older Latino voters but still trails Biden in that category as well, registering support from 35 percent of Latinos over 40 compared to 53 percent who supported Biden.

1. So much for the "Biden's struggling with Latinos" tropes

That had Repug gaslighting written all over it - and these (and other) polls prove it.

11. A drop of 71% to 62% from Obama's numbers is doing well?

[yardwork]

13. Trump has a sizable lead among white people.

Why isn't this discussed? Why do white people favor Trump in such large numbers?

[DeminPennswoods]

15. He does?

He has a lead, but it's hardly "sizable" and it's mostly among blue collar and older white men at that.

2. Never made sense any sizable amount of Latinos would get behind Trump. nt

[Sherman A1]

12. Agreed

but, so much doesn't make any sense anymore.

[TeamPooka]

3. The media desperately needs this to be a tight horse race. That's how they sell ads.

Ignore their bullshit and GOTV.

[Auggie]

6. +1

Ignore the polls too. Fun to talk about but they're not votes.

4. Gee I wonder why

Got to eat a few more taco bowls Donny

[AllTooEasy]

5. Why does Biden poll less than Clinton or Obama?!?!?!

That makes no fucking sense! All 3 should have or had %100 support

[ananda]

8. Got me.

I was wondering the same thing.

9. A lot of Latinos are Catholic, and the abortion issue bothers them.

A number of Latinos who immigrated legally and spent years to become citizens resent people coming here illegally. They may be in Trump’s camp because of immigration. I don’t understand why Biden’s numbers are lower than Clinton’s though, unless it’s an age thing or more people wanted a female president.

10. Hillary has a long time relationship with the Latino Community from over the years

I think Kamala Harris is the one that can help with the latino community . I remember hearing from many that they preferred her over Castro during the Primary. Plus California has a large latino population so she is already familiar with some of them. Though there are differences in the states and country of origin but there are similarities that can help also.

7. It's not surprising

It is only logical.

TOPLINE Amid a heated battle for Hispanic votes in Florida between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the administration announced Friday it would grant $13 billion in aid to help rebuild Puerto Rico, a major reversal for Trump, who has shown literal interest in helping the U.S. territory.

16. Fucking please

If PR does not have every last cent of this in hand by November 2 this means absolute shit.

[Botany]

17. It doesn't mean shit to the thousands of Puerto Rican citizens who died along with their family ....

... and friends because Trump blocked a timely response of help after Hurricane Maria.
Thousands of Puertorriqueños died of totally preventable medical conditions as Trump
talked about that P.R. owed us money.

[Cosmocat]

18. YEP

Of all the endless parade of horrible shit he has done, what he has done with PR is in the top 5.

[Botany]

19. Don't forget the 100 + American G.I.s in Iraq that got CTBI (chronic traumatic brain injury) ...

... because Trump had that Iranian executed @ the Baghdad airport. The fucker should be in jail
for that alone. Trump lured that Iranian in with the promise of peace talks and had him killed and
the Iran responded by hitting our troops with missiles.

20. My neighbors are Latinas ( Ecuador and Cuba) . They are the sweetest people, not very political but

are R because of church.

I dont bring up politics with them - as it wont end well.
