Harris leading Trump by 34 points among Latino voters in Pennsylvania: Survey
Vice President Harris leads former President Trump by 34 percentage points among Latino voters in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, a Univision and YouGov survey shows.
Sixty-four percent of registered Latino voters in the state said they were voting for Harris, compared to 30 percent who said they were voting for Trump.
The survey was taken after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe kicked off a firestorm by calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Oct. 27. The joke landed as Trump and Republicans had been making some inroads with Latino voters, though Harris has consistently led with such voters by a wide margin. The vice president used the controversy to step up her outreach to the key voting bloc.
The survey showed that 69 percent of Latino respondents found the joke to be “more racist than humorous,” and 17 percent saw the remarks as an intended joke. Among Puerto Ricans specifically, 71 percent said that even with Hinchcliffe’s comments intended as a joke, they still suggest underlying racism in the Trump campaign.
Six in 10 respondents say Trump is very or somewhat disrespectful toward Latinos, and 19 percent said he is “very respectful” toward the community. More than half of Latino voters in the survey said the rally remarks influenced their likelihood of supporting Trump.
Pennsylvania is home to 1.1 million Latinos, with nearly 600,000 eligible to vote. The state, with its 19 electoral votes, is razor tight heading into Election Day. A poll from Emerson College and The Hill released Monday shows Trump up by 1 percentage point, while The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s polling averages find Trump leading Harris by just half a point.
The Noticias Univision and YouGov poll was conducted from Oct. 29 to Nov. 3 among 400 registered Latino voters in Pennsylvania. It has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.
