    Bad news for Trump.

    Hillary Clinton is besting Donald Trump by an historic 30-point margin among Florida Hispanics, according to a new bipartisan poll that indicates Latinos could play an outsized role in delivering the White House to a Democrat for the third election in a row.

    Clinton’s 60 percent to 30 percent advantage over Trump with Florida Hispanics overall is fueled by outsized support from voters of Puerto Rican descent, who favor her 71 perccent to 19 percent, according to the survey of 800 likely Hispanic voters jointly conducted for Univision by Republican-leaning Tarrance Group and Democratic-leaning Bendixen & Amandi International.

    Trump, meanwhile, has relatively weak backing from Cuban-Americans. They historically vote Republican but only support him over Clinton by 49 percent to 42 percent, the poll shows. And Hispanic voters of other national origins heavily prefer Clinton over Trump by 71 percent to 20 percent. The overall margin of error for the poll is 3.5 points.

    “These Florida numbers are not only ominous for Donald Trump — they’re downright terrifying for Republicans nationwide,” said Fernand Amandi, Bendixen & Amandi’s pollster, who called Clinton’s 30-point margin “historic.”

    “The share of the Hispanic vote is growing every election and this will be the third presidential election in Florida where Hispanics trend heavily against the GOP,” Amandi said. “And if that continues, it could turn Florida into the next California in future presidential elections, a blue anchor state.”

    Without Florida’s 29 Electoral College votes, Republicans generally can’t win the White House.

    Cuban-Americans are strong for Trump. Trump recently expressed his concern and worry for The Ladies in White who have been beaten and arrested by the Castros every Sunday after church for over a year. Also, Trump got the first public endorsement ever from the organization that includes the survivors of the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion.

    You have to admire Democrats for their lock-step support of the Clintons in spite of their innumerable scandals, their disregard for national security, and their acceptance of blood money from some of the worst abusers of human rights in today's world. Clinton morality is Democrat morality.

    As for Latinos, it is well to remember that they want "papa gobierno," or papa government in English, so they naturally gravitate to the ranks of the Democrat Party, the major advocate of big government and socialized economy with government control over the individual even to the extent of abolishing God-given freedoms and rights. Latinos are in America mostly for money nowadays and not for liberty as in years past. It is doubtful that Latinos esteem the liberty that America used to enjoy in a greater degree than they do today. Also, many Latinos are strict Catholics who loudly say that all non-Catholics go to hell so that they have no concern for Protestants.

    Actually it is bad news for Clinton. Obama hit 60 percent among Latinos in 2012. Clinton can't even do half that. :rolleyes:

    If Rubio gets the nomination in 2020, we'll see where this goes.

    No reason to be terrified of this propaganda - "conducted for Univison"

    http://www.electionsmith.com/

    If you go through that, you'll see hispanic registration is 40% D 25% R and 35% I but the early voting as of Nov. 2 breaks down as 44% D, 34% R, and 22% are unaffilated/other.
