He will win the Hispanic vote? How so? The prospect of jobs? Hispanic voters could easily ask where they are right now. Those jobs will come later? If Hispanics know that any potential jobs would come later and they have still given Trump a -51 favorability rating now, how then will the prospect of future jobs change anything if the prospect of them hasn't changed their view of Trump right now?

Winning in a non-presidential election cycle (where turnout of Hispanics is far lower), as in 2010 and 2014, is one thing. 2008 and 2012 were quite another thing. It seems unfathomable to win in a presidential election cycle with negatives this high. This rate is on pace to get at best 22% of the Hispanic vote in 2016 (5% less than Romney secured).

Not good...

He won’t need it. He’ll make it up with white lunch bucket blue collar types.

You believe this poll? First of all, hispanics aren’t one group. The sample set would have to be huge and varied to get a fair sample. For all we know the survey was taken at a LaRaza meeting.

Republicans can win without Hispanics. They are NOT the force the media and their Democrats make them out to be and even Willard would have won if he was a conservative. This is more GOPe crap to scare us into open borders to satisfy THEIR masters at the USCC.

Two-thirds of them will vote for the Democrat anyway—they just already know who they are.

This Gallup poll has a sample of “random hispanic adults”. They could be illegals or unregistered. The poll is useless and only designed to grab headlines.

Oh, Politico is now a “partisanmediashill” or “partisanmedia” as the keyword say above?

I thought that Reuters was called the same -— but that was until they had a good poll for Trump!

And CNN - they were a libbbberal media outlet, and probably a “partisanmediashill” or “partisanmedia” as well not long ago but that was until the polls from them looked good for Trump.

And now CNN is reliable!!!! Yeah!

See how it works?

Other Republican candidates with net unfavorable ratings among Hispanics included former Texas governor Rick Perry and Sen. Ted Cruz, both scoring -7, and former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore with -6.

Jeb Bush, meanwhile, racked up the highest favorability rating among GOP candidates with a +11 net favorable score, followed by Marco Rubio with +5 and Carly Fiorina with +3.

Guess we better get behind Bush III then.

Well, I guess we should allow the southern invasion to continue then. If not, it may cost GOP votes.

If Trumps goes into the general election as the GOP nominee, and peels off significant numbers in the white female or black demographic (or combination thereof), Hispanics will bail on the Democrats. There’s no natural affinity for the old, white college-educated losers who couldn’t function in a market-based economy. It’s a protection racket, and when the protection can’t be afforded any longer, it’s over.

51% of hispanic vote democrats anyway, so what’s the difference. That’s like showing a poll where it says 90% of blacks disapprove of republican. 90% black vote democrats anyway

Well some other poll just came out today giving him 36% of the Hispanic vote. They don’t vote GOP anyway they mostly vote Dem no matter who is running.

Trump needs to just get out the GOP base, take a good share of the Indies and some Dems and he’s in the Whitehut. :-)

Building a wall will create thousands of jobs.. When out of work Hispanics get a job, they will vote for whomever made that possible...

What's the real unemployment rate? 12%? 15%..

What is his favor-ability among blacks?

The deal is that the Democrats have a very specific way of winning. Clean up with a massive majority in the black community and a reasonable majority in the Latino sector and hold their own in the White population. Lots of white guilt.

The White guilt is OVER. Few except for the most Liberal none will vote Democrat and of many that will not vote Republican they will not vote at all. The Democrats have been so open border and so pro illegal over that of Blacks that they are starting to lose the blacks ever so slightly. A drop from 90% vote of blacks for Democrats to a fall of 80% of Black votes renders Democrats unable to win.

Add to the fact that they have NO excitement in their party and there it is becoming less likely Democrats maintain the White House this cycle.

The GOP is going to lose the invader vote anyway. Why cater to them? It makes no sense.
