Presidential Polls 2016: Hillary Clinton Tops Donald in all 12 Swing States Among Latino Voters
Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump among Latino voters has become so pronounced that if the election were held today the Democratic presidential nominee would sweep her rival in all 12 "battleground" states.
Those are the conclusions of a Latino Victory Fund and Latino Decisions poll, which also finds Latino voters are generally more aligned with the overall Democratic agenda, as opposed to the platform carved out by the GOP ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
Pollsters found Clinton is now topping Trump among Hispanics in the swing-states of Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Latinos Aligned With Democratic Views
When it comes to specific issues, the July 18 to 22 conducted survey of 800 Latino adults also found that respondents are convinced Clinton would be the best candidate to handle such concerns as immigration, foreign policy, education and the economy.
Hispanics also widely consider Clinton to be the best candidate to enact reasonable gun laws, make college education more affordable, select the next Supreme Court justice and reform the criminal justice system.
Overall, more than four in five (82 percent) respondents were in favor of an immigration reform plan that supports a path to citizenship. In addition, 64 percent of Latinos believe that the issues that are most significant to them coincide with the views expressed by democratic candidates.
Clinton Reform Pledge
While Clinton has pledged to address the issue of immigration reform within the first 100 days of her administration, Trump is on record with his vow to deport as many as 11 million immigrants and build a wall along the Mexican border.
More than 13 million Latinos are expected to cast votes in this year's general election, and a recent Univision poll pegged Trump's support among Hispanics at just 19 percent.
