ven as Donald Trump has narrowed Hillary Clintons overall lead in the polls in recent weeks, the former secretary of state has maintained a sizable lead among Hispanic voters, according to a Washington Post/Univision poll released Thursday.
Sixty-seven percent of Hispanic likely voters who responded to the nationwide poll said they support Clinton, while just 19 percent favor Trump. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, polled at 4 percent, while the Green Partys Jill Stein came in at 2 percent.

Just 20 percent of respondents said they held either a very favorable or somewhat favorable view of Trump, compared with 69 percent who said the same of Clinton, the Democratic nominee. Twenty-eight percent said they view Clinton very or somewhat unfavorably, while 76 percent hold those views of Trump. Seventy-three percent of respondents said they believe Trump is racist.
