Trump Leads Biden In Latino Voters In Florida

Summary from the AllSides News Team

An NBC News/Marist poll released Tuesday showed President Donald Trump leading Joe Biden among Latinos 50% to 46% in the key battleground state of Florida. Trump and Biden tied at 48% among Florida voters overall. A Miami-Dade county poll put Trump at a slight lead with Latino voters as well, though the result fell within the margin of error. Other polls suggest Biden is still leading Trump in six swing states by an average of four points. Coverage from center- and left-rated outlets tended to frame the story as a warning for Democrats. Coverage from both left- and right-rated outlets highlighted the fact that Biden's support among Latino voters is well behind Hillary Clinton's exit numbers in the 2016 election.

It was gospel among the GOP consultant class for many years: Either conservatives pander to Hispanics by supporting more immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens, or their share of the Hispanic vote would continue to shrink.
