New polling from America’s Voice and Latino Decisions released earlier today finds that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s dismal standing with Latino voters has the potential to hurt Republicans’ prospects in a number of swing states, including many with competitive U.S. Senate. The poll of 400 registered Latino voters in each of seven swing states—Arizona, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia—augments last week’s national poll release and yesterday’s poll release detailing Latino voters’ responses to Trump’s recent visit to Mexico and his subsequent immigration speech in Arizona.
The state polls were conducted between August 19th and August 30th using a blend of web, land, and cell interviews. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish at the discretion of the respondent. The margin of error for each state poll is +/- 4.9 percentage points [to access the Toplines, Crosstabs, and summary decks for the state and national polls, click Here].
