Latino voters are supporting Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race, a recent poll shows.

According to an MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll released on Friday, Latino voters preferred Clinton over Trump 69 to 22, Politicus USA notes. Clinton also won, overall, against Trump in the same poll.

Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden is in the lead over both Clinton and Trump. Although Biden has not officially joined the race, he has gained much support from Latino voters. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was not included in the poll, although he is leading in New Hampshire and Iowa.

Trump has been outspoken about immigrants during his campaign, calling undocumented Mexican immigrants "rapists" and "killers" during his official presidential bid announcement. Since then, the business mogul has become one of the most popular Republican primary candidates.

Yet, Latino voters are showing Trump that he does not have their support following his controversial comments. If he does actually make it to the final bid in the race, they may be a big part of the deciding factor in his eventual victory or defeat.

President Barack Obama won the 2012 presidential seat against Mitt Romney largely because of non-white voters.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Clinton and Trump have about the same amount of support among registered voters, ABC News reports.

Early polls show preferences from people, but do not predict who will actually become president in 2016. At the start of the race, predictions gave most support to the former secretary of state.

Meanwhile, Clinton recently apologized for using a private email server while working at the White House. News about her email scandal is said to have hurt her presidential campaign.

Some claimed she might have stored classified material in her private email server, putting national security secrets at risk. The material has been investigated by the FBI, causing her to turn in her private emails in order to prove she has nothing to hide.
