Harris’ Place At Top Of Ticket Threw Wrench Into Trump’s Gains With Latino Voters: POLL

Registered Latino voters in seven key states shifted 14 points to the left since Democrats ditched President Joe Biden in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee, according to a poll released Wednesday by Equis Research.

Among Hispanic registered voters living in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, 56% favored Harris and 37% said they would vote for former President Donald Trump, according to the poll. A previous Equis poll conducted from May 16 to June 6 had found Biden leading Trump by a margin of 46% to 41%.

“Latino-Americans know Kamala Harris was the original Border Czar, the deciding vote that led to sky-rocketing inflation, and dangerously liberal,” Trump campaign senior advisor Danielle Alvarez told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump’s message to our community is simple and built on his winning record: If you want the return of the strongest economy in over 60 years, rising wages, quality jobs, strong borders, and safe neighborhoods, then vote for him.”

A June poll released by Equis found that 41% of Hispanic voters trusted Trump and the Republicans on immigration, compared to 38% who placed their faith in Biden and the Democrats.

Trump’s margin among swing state Latinos in Equis’ most recent poll is still well above the former president’s national benchmarks from the 2016 and 2020 elections. Trump captured just 28% of the Hispanic vote in 2016
