Fox News Latino poll: Clinton holds 46-point lead over Trump among Hispanics

Source: Fox News Latino

With less than four months to go before Election Day, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a commanding 46 point lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump among Hispanic voters, according to an exclusive poll released Thursday by Fox News Latino.

The poll found that 66 percent of registered Latino voters would head to the ballot box to vote for Clinton and her running-mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, compared to only 20 percent who would pick the ticket of Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike on Election Day.

The gap between the two candidates widened 7 percent since May, when Clinton held a 39-point edge among Hispanics.

“The results are not that surprising given the reaction of Latinos to some of Trump’s proposals,” Alfonso Aguilar, the executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, told Fox News Latino.

If I'm not mistaken tRump does a pretty darned good job of acting like the rich, money loving man that Jesus despised.

Even though many Hispanics are Catholic, the reality is Catholics get abortions at the same rate as Protestants. Or maybe at a higher rate. In any case, they certainly take advantage of legal abortion. And before Roe v Wade that got illegal abortions.

I'm reminded of when my older sister (and this is several decades ago) was going to get a divorce because, quite frankly, she and her husband should never have married, but did because she was pregnant, and it just wasn't working out, and a relative decried this saying, "There's NEVER been a divorce in this family!" My reaction was, So what? There's a first time for every thing.

It's the rather blatant hypocrisy that bothers me.
