Despite Donald Trump's claims that he will somehow win the Latino vote, his assertion is looking increasingly unlikely based on new polling data.

A new AP-GFK poll finds the Republican presidential front-runner attracts a positive opinion from just 1-in-10 Hispanic Americans. The poll finds many of the GOP candidates, which also includes Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz, would struggle mightily in trying to generate significant Latino support come general election season.

Trump leads the pack in disfavorability, with 72 percent of all Latino voters, insisting they view him unfavorably, and 6 in 10 adding they have a very unfavorable opinion of the outspoken billionaire.

Perhaps that should be expected, given Trump launched his campaign by branding Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and soon after that was pledging to deport as many as 11 million immigrants over his first two years in office, if elected. The poll finds only 11 percent of Latino voters view him favorably. Trump has also vowed to build a wall along the Mexican border to keep immigrants out, and he recently skipped out on a key meeting with Latino business leaders at the last minute.

Still, Trump insists he can feel the love where Latinos are concerned.

"I have fantastic relationships with the Hispanics," he told reporters. "I employ thousands of Hispanics right now, tens of thousands over the years I've employed. They're fantastic people."

Right around the same time Trump was stating his argument, a coalition of Hispanic groups were organizing to confront NBC execs about their recent decision to have Trump host an episode of "Saturday Night Live" during upcoming sweeps week.

"Never again will a president be elected without courting the Hispanic vote," predicted U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Javier Palomarez.

As for Trump's boast that Hispanics love him, Palomarez added, "Nothing could be further from the truth."
