Donald Trump will lose the election in Florida - the swing state with the most electoral votes - because most Latinos won't vote for him, Univision News predicts.
As a result, it's virtually impossible for him to win the White House due to the electoral college system, according to a a Univision data analysis of the key five swing states expected to determine the outcome in November.
The forecast, based on a statistical analysis of the presidential race, found that Hillary Clinton will win 48.39% of the vote in Florida, versus 44.87% for Trump.

(45,806 posts)even more so in areas with a prominent Black population. As much as I dislike Pribus, he was right when he said their Party won't be able to win any elections unless they broaden their base to include Latinos and Blacks.
Of course their Party nominee not only ignored that advise, he openly discarded them from any consideration at all.

(11,607 posts)Because a lot of Florida Latinos are Cubans, who tend to be more conservative, especially in Florida. That is changing some but it's not a 70-30 split for Democrats like other Latino groups.

(6,342 posts)This Florida Latino demographic is not necessarily the same as in other areas of the country. So I think some caution needs to be made here. It's not just the Cuban population, but as a whole they vote doesn't vote as a monolith with the rest of Latino populations throughout the country.
The Latino vote also don't vote purely based on party.
Marco Rubio continues to maintain a lead in every poll. It's not a huge lead, but considering Rubio has the support of Florida Latinos and the Cuban-American population it will be tough for Democrat Patrick Murphy to overtake him.
