Yes, like all polling, there is a margin of error. That means the percentage of women voting can be even higher than 52%.Who knows where you see "wishful thinking" in my post. I'm quoting exit polls from prior elections. About 52% of the voters are women.I believe you are overemphasizing their impact on Trump. They already lean Democrat in big numbers but many do not come out to vote. In 2012, 71% of Latinos voted for Obama. Also, despite comprising about 17% of the population, only about 10% showed up at the polls. So while it's still a benefit to whomever ends up Democrat nominee, it's not much more of an edge that Obama had over Romney. I think women will present a bigger problem for Trump as more of them vote in presidential elections than men.Trump and his supporters are hemorrhaging Hispanics like they did blacks 40 years ago. They can't lose 80% of Hispanics and win a national election. They are too big a constituency and in swing states like Nevada that will also cost them House and Senate seats.
In a head-to-head general election match-up with Donald Trump, Nevada Latino voters would choose Hillary Clinton by a 76-13 margin. Bernie Sanders, who lost in the February caucus to Clinton, actually fared even better in 82-9 over trump.
The poll found Trump was the top reason Latinos will vote in the 2016 election.
"Trump has increased the enthusiasm for turning out to vote to stop his potential presidency," said Dr. David Damore, Sr. Analyst, Latino Decisions.
Hispanic voters heavily favor Democratic candidates, so if the presidential race ends up being close, the left lean by Latinos could be the difference maker.
"If you're seeing 75-80 percent of the vote going towards the Democrats, it makes it very, very difficult for the Republicans to get anywhere in the margins they're going to need," Damore said
Pollsters set out to survey Latino voters
your wishful thinking is noted.
and lets talk about "exit polls". Ok?
you come out of the voting booth, you have voted, thousands have yet to vote. Some media clown asks who you voted for and how you feel about the issues, do you tell the truth or do you say what you think will help your candidate or your party?
they ask 1000 people those same questions----------------1000 out of 330,000,000, got it? and you think that means something? more from fantasy land.
But even funnier is how you rely on exit polling when it favors your position; but against exit polling when you don't like the results. Case in point -- here you are referring to exit polling to confirm your argument....
Where's your proof of that?
exit polls for one. the fact that obama-supporting dems were defeated for two.
