A poll released Thursday shows Latino registered voters are relatively divided between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as the New York primary looms.
Latinos voters were essentially divided 48 percent for Sanders and 47 percent for Clinton in the poll conducted March 30-April 3 by Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with The Atlantic.
That finding comes as the two have been taking their campaigns into diverse New York, where the population is 19 percent Latino and 14 percent of the state's eligible voters are Latino. Thus far Clinton has won in the heavy Latino states of Florida, Texas and Arizona. Sanders won in Colorado and edged past Clinton in Illinois, 50 percent to 49 percent, according to exit polls. The outcome in Nevada's caucus is in dispute - entrance polls give it to Sanders, but analysis of votes show Clinton won the heaviest Latino counties.

(86,005 posts)...the poll doesn't account for the overwhelming lead Hillary has in actual votes by Latinos, providing huge margins in states which have large Latino communities.
The article also dishonestly conflates a national poll (an outlier) with the Latino vote in NY which almost everyone expects to favor Hillary Clinton.

I think its neat with Bernie's invite to the pope.
