Latino voters back HRC 76-14 in new poll

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that a whopping 76% of Latino registered voters said they back Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, while just 14% said they back Donald Trump.

“The poll was conducted in English and in Spanish. Twenty-nine percent of respondents said they speak mostly English at home; 35% speak mostly Spanish and the remainder speak both languages equally in their household.”

Trump is dead to Latinos. A good reason to be wary of polls undersampling them, like Q. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #1

GWB got 40% in '04; even Mitt got 27%. No scenarios out there for winning with <20% of the Latino vote.

But, for him to be receiving double-digit numbers (Even low-digit ones) is STILL a bit

and with Trump also performing badly with almost every other demographic, I still don't get how the press is saying that the 2 of them are in a "dead heat". That narrative is hard for me to believe.

because for some reason they don't think that turnout among latinos or AA will be as high as 2012.
