Latino Electorate Wants Either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush

A recent survey revealed that the Latino electorate prefers either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush to win the presidential race.

The survey was conducted by Latino Decisions on 14 battleground states and was published on Monday, according to Fox News Latino. Democrats want former Secretary of State Clinton to win as president while the Republican demographic is rooting for former Florida Gov. Bush's triumph.

Clinton got 67 percent of votes from Latinos living in the areas surveyed, with only 27 percent having unfavorable opinions on her, Fox News Latino reported.

Bush got 47 percent of voter preference, which mainly came from his good performance as Florida's former governor, the news outlet added. The Republican hopeful got 37 percent of votes in opposition of his leadership.

Latino's voting for Hillary I can understand. Latino's voting for Jeb? I thought Latino's were smarter than that.

if they are in FL, many are likely part of the fiercely anti-Castro Cuban community there who have never voted for a Dem and likely never will.

Everyone tells me "Asians don't vote" ...were "not even important".. some one even said we are not POC! There are days I should just stay out of GD-P.. I guess

The politics in general this Black and White with a little Latino in there. But there are so many different Asians, let alone Pacific Islanders etc. The nuance is lost on them. Bur being Korean has a different set of priorities than being Sri Lankan..for example. I guess that is why the little Bernie , before this last week, had singled out Latinos issues was acceptable. We are not the focus, either .

I love your voice on this site.

few Asians on DU ever contact me, reach out or say hello. Sometimes I feel like an Island.

My husband's family is Hispanic and they'd sooner slit their throat than vote for Jeb or any of the rupukes.

They do a lot of Hispanic politics, his aunties have met President Obama. Chris Coons and John Carney spoke and my mother in laws funeral.

So no, never would they vote for those assholes.
