Donald Trump debate
While the race is a dead heat with voters 50 years of age or under, Trump leads 53% to 37% with the older set.

Ahead of the sole vice presidential debate of the 2024 campaign comes new good news for conservatives in the Sunshine State.

A new survey of Florida’s Hispanic voters offers good news for Republicans, with presidential candidate Donald Trump holding a significant lead over Kamala Harris.

The NBCUniversal Local Telemundo Station Group poll of 625 registered voters, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy between Sept. 23 and Sept. 25, shows Trump up 48% to 41% over Harris.

That lead is powered by Trump’s 53% to 38% advantage in Southeast Florida with the demographic. Harris has single-digit leads in Central Florida and Tampa Bay.

Additionally, Hispanic men are sour on Harris; only 28% support her, compared to 60% of males backing Trump.

While the race is a dead heat with voters 50 years of age or under, Trump leads 53% to 37% with the older set.

Trump leads 61% to 28% among Hispanics with Cuban backgrounds. But Harris is up 58% to 33% with Puerto Ricans, showing Latino voters are no monolith.

Harris only takes 85% of Democrats, with 6% crossing party lines to back Trump. Meanwhile, the former President has 91% support in his own party.

One thing that unites Harris and Trump voters: concern about the economy. More than 2 out of every 5 voters say that is paramount, including 48% of Trump voters and 32% of Harris backers.

Harris voters are also motivated by protecting democracy and reproductive rights, with 19% and 14% keying in on those issues, respectively, as the most important. Trump voters also value democracy, with 10% saying that matters to them most. Immigration and foreign policy are also at or above 10% as primary concerns for Latino Trumpers.

      “When moderator Margaret Brennan noted during last night’s vice presidential debate that Republican nominee J.D. Vance had, once again, lied about the legal status of migrants in Springfield, Ohio, Vance retorted: “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check!”

    No surprise. Some 22 million boomers have died since Trump ran in 2016. Meanwhile, some 44 million Gen Z are now of voting age – and that group overwhelmingly rejects anger, bitterness, and bigotry. Demographics are destiny, which explains why Trunpublicans are doing all they can to restrict voter registration and suppress turnout.

      A bunch of BS. Most people are concerned about the economy, the fall of The Southern Border and such. Just look at the inflationary economy Kammy brought us. Seems like every week a unionized work group is threatening or actually on strike demanding big raises, In the end the consumer gets left with the bill that Kammy and Joe brought us.

        You sure seem to enjoy that circular logic. The unfortunate thing is that if enough people buy trumps BS, we ALL have to live with the consequences. Be careful what you wish for as they say. If all our perceived woes were as easy to solve as trump seems to imply, they’d already be fixed now wouldn’t they?

    625 polled? Well, that’s it then. The die is cast, it’s a done deal. Polls, do give some semblance of trending thoughts of those that take them, never answered one myself, but shucks, only a hayseed turnip truck Trumpkin would think they hold some mystical crystal ballian accurate prediction for the future. Florida may not flip red for the presidency, but I had a Vision last night that Kamala wins!

        Your numerous, salacious comments on this single posting indicate that you are losing your shit about the election. And, so you are reduced to predicting the future which, for you, appears bleak. No one here will commiserate, so go on and commiserate — in advance of Nov. 5 — with yourself.
