Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is viewed unfavorably by over 4 in 10 Hispanics, according to a new poll, though she holds a huge lead over GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump with the voting bloc.
Forty-one percent of Hispanics in Friday’s Fox News Latino survey said they view Clinton negatively, compared with 56 percent who view her positively. Forty-two percent said she desires the presidency for herself and not for the good of the country.
The former secretary of State trails far behind President 0bama when it comes to favorability among Hispanic voters. Seventy-two percent in the poll said they view 0bama favorably, while only 26 percent expressed an unfavorable opinion.
The favorability numbers for Trump are far worse than Clinton's. Seventy-four percent said they view the businessman unfavorably, while 23 percent had a favorable opinion of him.
Seventy-two percent said they believe that Trump is seeking the presidency for personal gain.
Overall, 60 percent of Hispanic voters said they would vote for Clinton in November, while 23 percent would pick Trump.
While that's a huge margin, many campaign analysts predict Clinton will need to run up the score with minorities to win, as the businessman has an early advantage with white voters.
Fox News Latino conducted its latest sampling of 886 registered Latino voters via interviews from May 14-17. It has a 3.5 percent margin of error.
Trump says Hispanic voters will come around to his candidacy despite his hardline stances on border security and illegal immigration and his controversial comments about criminals coming into the country from Mexico.
He has sworn that he will deport the nation’s illegal immigrant population and build a wall along America’s southern border with Mexico.
She is NOT a likeable person. (I am entering that in the understatement of the week contest.)
"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

She may hold a polling lead with Hispanics but that doesn’t mean they’ll actually vote for her.
I don’t think most Hispanic men want an angry, fist-waving, old white woman yelling at them, and demanding that they vote for her just because she’s a woman and has been pandering to them for a long time. I suspect a lot of Hispanic men will vote for Trump, because he’s macho.
Mrs. Clinton: More pandering
So see, the MSM lies, the talking heads lie, and the pollsters lie...just like the Clintons, lie, lie, lie...
What should happen is when someone lies, they should be reminded that the truth would sound better!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Which means 60% of them worship the ground she walks on.
IOW, 40% are here legally and the 60% who view her unfavorably are here illegally.
Hispanics normally have a low turnout rate. As with other demographics, their turnout rate goes up when a friend or neighbor knocks on their door and asks for their vote.
If a Republican knocks on their door and appears friendly, they will vote for the R candidates. If a Democrat knocks on their door, they will vote that way.
Of course, this is true of non-Hispanics also.
The party that knocks on doors increases their vote. The party that expects the candidate to do it all by himself loses.
Hillary obviously needs to do more hispandering.
Hillary obviously needs to do more hispandering.
Michael Savage has it right: there is no way the “macho” male Hispanic culture will get behind Hillary. They will never vote for a woman.
I saw a poll that 90% of hispanics want illegals to get amnesty. Tells me they are soft on crime, and don’t give a fig about unemployed Americans that they displace in the workforce.
We got to ship the illegals out and teach the legal hispanics to have some national spirit for America and American Citizens.
America First, Go Trump Go.
Re: “Look for Hillary Clinton’s unfavorable rating to increase the more the public learns about her.”
That’s great analysis, Lone Palm.
Most American voters never heard of Hillary Clinton until a few months ago.
Is her Spanish accent Tex-Mex or New-Mex?
