The media narrative has been Joe Biden is in trouble with Latino voters. across the board….
Florida as a troubled state for Biden….
BUT?
We have a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll released Sunday…..
It says the exact opposite.…
Now either this poll is a outlier…
Or?…..
There ARE a lotta poll takers making mistakes …..
Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump 62 percent to 26 percent among Latino registered voters nationally, but his lead trails Hillary Clinton’s advantage with this voting bloc at this same stage in 2016, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll released Sunday.
Biden is seen by the poll’s respondents as better at addressing concerns of the Latino community, 59 percent to 18 percent, and the candidates are near even on who is better at dealing with the economy, with 41 percent saying Biden and 39 percent choosing Trump.
Biden’s 36-point lead over Trump in the presidential contest shows Democrats still have strong backing in the community, which could help Biden in some states where the presidential race is tight.
“Biden’s Latino support is greater than his performance with all voters, 51 percent of which say they would vote for him over Trump,” said Aileen Cardona-Arroyo, a senior analyst at Hart Research which conducted the poll.
But it’s clear Biden has work to do with the Hispanic electorate. In a September 2016 NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll, Clinton led Trump 63 percent to 16 percent with registered Hispanic voters.
Latinos are the largest non-white group of eligible voters this election at 32 million. However, the National Association of Elected and Appointed Officials has projected that about 14.6 million will vote in this year’s election that will be held amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden’s greatest support with Hispanic registered voters is among those 18 years old to 39 years old — 71 percent of that group backs him….

This number might be comforting to Dems after the barrage of stories the past few weeks.
But keep in mind: there’s a huge difference between the Latino vote in CA/NY/IL – where Biden is likely winning 75%+ – vs. AZ/TX, and certainly FL.

Why the “huh?”
Your final sentence says it all..
It’s not a question of Biden winning a fairly overwhelming majority of Hispanic voters.
This has to do with the peculiarities of certain states,primarily Texas and Florida.
jamesb says
The Huh?
Relates to the media saying Biden is at a loss with Latino’s
This new poll says not so fast…
This poll says Trump’s screwing Latino’s HURTS HIM…..
We’ll have to see follow up polls…
Problem is Latino ‘s do NOT vote in the numbers whites or blacks do…
My Name Is Jack says
You and Trump with your “media” outrage.
The media “narrative ,as you call it, was that Biden wasn’t doing as well as Hillary,particularly in Florida.
Apparently that is true.
I have no problem with the media reporting the news.Thats their job.
You and Trump apparently get upset when they report things you don’t like.
Too bad.
jamesb says
The media says Biden DOES have a BIG Latino problem…
Ref:…..Here.…Here…Here…Here…
My Name Is Jack says
They are merely reporting the results of polls .
The same thing you do here.
And apparently ,in polls ,he is running behind Hillary among this group.
Like I said, you don’t want the media to report the news.
Very Trumpian of you.
jamesb says
He, he, he….
U are beginning to sound like Trump…
I don’t follow polls which have some info of fact NOT just what ya think…
My Name Is Jack says
Yes obviously I sound like Trump when it is you blasting the “media ala Trump .
More obfuscating.
More Lying.
