Perhaps the best news for Donald Trump is that it would be very difficult for him to disappoint Latinos’ perception of him. The poll continues to show that Latinos have a low impression of Donald Trump, with 72 percent saying they found him unfavorable. At this point in the election in 2012, many perceived Mitt Romney to have set the low bar of expectations, with 58 percent of Latinos saying they had an unfavorable impression of him.
