NEW YORK (EFE).— The Democratic candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris, leads the Republican Donald Trump among Latino voters in the seven key states, of which she would get 56% of the votes, compared to the 31% she would get the former president, according to a survey published yesterday Tuesday.
The survey by the Hispanic Federation and Latino Victory Foundation revealed that the Democrat’s candidacy has aroused enthusiasm among Hispanics in key states, a population sector in which she maintains an advantage of more than 25 points over Trump.
In this way, the survey, published three weeks before the elections, reveals that Kamala is in front in each of the seven pivotal states, with a percentage of favorability in each state of between 58% and 54%.
In Pennsylvania, one of the key states, Kamala would win 57% of the Latino vote, compared to Trump’s 27%.
The results also show that 71% of Latino voters plan to vote, especially those who live in key states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania.
In addition, 74% say they are closely following the news about the November 5 elections.
“Our hope is that with this survey we can reframe the way the power of Latino voters is perceived, both at the national and state level. However, the most important thing is that we help our own community get to the polls,” said the president of the federation, Frankie Miranda, yesterday at a press conference held in Pennsylvania.
Miranda highlighted that the results “confirm that Latinos are listening and care about the upcoming elections.”
New enthusiasm
The survey, which was carried out between October 2 and 10 with a sample of 1,900 Latinos, shows that 60% of those interviewed are more interested in voting in the elections after the arrival of Kamala Harris.

**Interview with Political Analyst Juan Morales on Kamala Harris’s Lead Among Latino Voters**
**Editor:** Welcome, Juan. Thank you for joining us to discuss the recent polling data showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump among Latino voters. What do you think are the key factors contributing to her support in this demographic?
**Juan Morales:** Thank you for having me. Several factors are at play here. First, Kamala Harris has made significant efforts to engage with Latino communities, highlighting issues that resonate with them, such as immigration reform, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Her background and identity also play a role; as a woman of color, she embodies representation that many Latino voters appreciate.
**Editor:** Interesting points. How do you think Trump’s past policies and rhetoric have influenced Latino voters’ perceptions of him?
**Juan Morales:** Trump’s approach to immigration, particularly his harsh policies and rhetoric, has alienated many Latino voters. His focus on building walls and cutting immigration programs has left a lasting negative impression. Additionally, issues like the COVID-19 pandemic have disproportionately affected Latino communities, and his administration’s response has not garnered support from these groups.
**Editor:** Those are valid concerns. With the election approaching, what strategies do you think Harris and the Democratic Party should employ to maintain or even increase their support among Latino voters?
**Juan Morales:** They should continue to listen to and address the specific needs of Latino communities. This means promoting inclusive policies and ensuring that the messaging resonates personally. Grassroots mobilization, leveraging social media outreach, and collaborating with local leaders are also essential to build trust and ensure voter turnout.
**Editor:** Thank you, Juan. It seems clear that both candidates have distinctive challenges and opportunities as they seek to secure the Latino vote in the upcoming election.
**Juan Morales:** Absolutely. The Latino vote could be pivotal, and it’s crucial for both parties to understand the nuances within the community to effectively engage them.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Juan. This will be a critical election to watch, especially among Latino voters.
