Republican Donald Trump has all but erased Democrats' long-standing advantage over Republicans -- that they used to be more trusted among Hispanic men, a poll shows Reuters/Ipsos, quoted by Reuters. Former President Trump now trails Vice President Harris by just 2 points among Hispanic men — 44 percent to 46 percent — compared with his 19-point trail to Democrat Joe Biden at the same time in 2020, according to an analysis of more than 15,000 responses. of Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted up to October 21 and during the same period in 2020.
Trump's advance has been offset by increased support for Harris among white women, with Harris narrowly ahead of Trump on that measure, 46% to 43%, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in 2016- October 21.
Hispanic voters (men and women combined) - the fastest growing segment of the US population - have so far been heavily Democratic in most presidential elections since the 1970s, but Trump has made significant progress. An analysis of the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump has the support of 37 percent of registered Hispanic voters, up from 30 percent at the same time in 2020. Harris has 51 percent, compared to Biden, who received the support of 54% of Latino voters years earlier. The margin of error is between 2 and 6 points.
Trump ended up winning 38% of the Hispanic vote in 2020, 21 points less than Biden's, but still the largest share among them in favor of a Republican candidate since the president George W. Bush won 44 percent in 2004, according to a 2020 exit poll analysis by Pew Research. and archival data collected by the "American Enterprise Institute".
