Polling Data Shows Kamala Harris Leading Among Latino Voters Ahead of Presidential Elections

As the upcoming presidential elections in the United States approach, set for November, the competition appears to be intensifying. Although former President Donald Trump seeks to establish a significant lead, recent polling data suggests a contrary trend. In particular, Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered considerable support among Latino voters.

Recent surveys indicate that Vice President Harris has achieved a remarkable approval rating of 60% among Latino voters, significantly surpassing President Joe Biden, who stands at 47%. In comparison, former President Trump is reported to have only 29% support within this demographic. A poll conducted on WhatsApp, specifically targeting Latino voters with the ability to cast ballots in the United States, highlights Harris’s robust standing in the community.

The results illustrate a notable increase in Democratic support since April of this year. “These findings demonstrate a substantial rise in support for the Democratic candidacy, moving from 47% for President Biden to 60% for Vice President Kamala Harris. During the same period, support for former President Trump has declined by five percentage points,” the report notes.

Further analysis reveals that when allocating votes from third-party candidates to Harris or Trump, their collective support exceeds that of Biden’s in 2020 by six percentage points, a figure notably beyond the margin of error. This suggests that Vice President Harris may have a stronger appeal among the Latino electorate compared to President Biden.

In a related political development, President Biden notably took the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention, delivering a significant address that marked his legacy after a half-century of public service. Mr. Mitch Landrieu, a former mayor of New Orleans and White House official, acknowledged, “The torch has passed to a new generation,” as he commenced the proceedings of the second night of the convention. While there were accolades directed towards Harris and pointed criticisms aimed at Trump, references to the currently unpopularity of President Biden were minimal. The evening was characterized by tributes expressing gratitude toward Biden for his service, transitioning to mere mentions of the “Biden-Harris administration.”

This event underscored the diminishing influence of President Biden within the party as he prepares to transition out of the White House in January. The shifting dynamics between the candidates suggest that Vice President Harris may play an increasingly pivotal role in the electoral race against Donald Trump, especially among key voter segments such as the Latino community.
