Kamala Harris Leads Donald Trump Among California Hispanics

Vice President Kamala Harris has a strong lead over former President Trump among Hispanic voters in California, while the similar survey showed earlier this month showed opposite results in Florida.

As per a Telemundo poll released Tuesday, 55% of voters support the Democratic presidential candidate, while 33% back her Republican rival in California. This is in contrast to the recent Florida poll, where Trump was leading Harris among Hispanic voters.

In the latest poll, Harris has over 50% support across all groups in California, including different ages, genders, and countries of origin. Trump, on the other hand, remains in the 30% range among these groups. Harris is especially popular with Hispanic women, with 58% support, and has 51% support from Hispanic men, The Hill reported.

In the poll, 58% of people over the age of 50 said they would vote for Harris, while 52% of people under 50 said the same. This follows a trend for Harris among Hispanic voters nationwide, with differences based on gender and age showing up in many polls.

The recent Florida Telemundo poll showed Harris seven points behind Trump among Hispanic voters overall. However, she was ahead of Trump with Hispanic women in Florida, with 53% supporting her.

Now in the California poll, Harris is doing well on issues where she usually falls behind Trump with most voters in the country, like immigration and the economy. In California, 47% of people said they trusted Harris when it comes to the economy, while 42% said they trusted Trump and 11% were unsure.

There was a bigger difference between men and women on this issue, with 52% of Hispanic women supporting Harris but only 41% of Hispanic men trusting her more than Trump.

Regarding immigration, 51% of Hispanic voters in California said that they trusted Harris, while 38% said they trusted Trump. Harris had stronger support among women and older voters, but she did better than Trump on immigration across all groups.

Harris is also doing better than Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff in California, while in Arizona and Nevada, other Democrats like Rep. Ruben Gallego and Sen. Jacky Rosen are polling better than Harris in their Senate races.

Though California isn't competitive overall, Republicans are trying to defend five close House seats in the state. All these districts have large Hispanic populations, and in one of them, Hispanics are the biggest racial or ethnic group. In two other districts, most residents are Hispanic.

Last week, a group of immigrant rights organizations announced their support for the Democratic presidential candidate following claims by Republicans that illegal immigrants were killing Americans and stealing or eating their pets.
