Harris leads Trump among California Latino voters by 23 points

Vice President Harris holds a strong lead over former President Trump among California Hispanics, according to a Telemundo poll released Tuesday.

The California survey contrasts with a similar poll released earlier this month of Florida Hispanic voters, which found Trump leading Harris.

According to Telemundo, 55 percent of respondents in the California poll back Harris, compared to 33 percent who support Trump.

Harris cracks 50 percent support among all demographic subgroups tested by age, gender and country of origin; Trump is in the 30s with all those groups.

Still, Harris has more support among Latinas, 58 percent of whom expressed support for her, than among Latinos, where she netted 51 percent support.

Similarly, 58 percent of respondents over the age of 50 said they would vote for Harris, compared to 52 percent under 50 who said the same.

Those numbers reflect a larger trend for Harris among Hispanic voters nationwide, with noticeable gender and age gaps across a wide array of polls.

In the Florida Telemundo poll, which showed Harris 7 points below Trump with Hispanic statewide, she led the former president with Florida Latinas, 53 percent of whom sided with the vice president.

The California poll also shows Harris leading on issues where she trails Trump with most voters nationwide, such as immigration and the economy.

On the economy, 47 percent of respondents said they trusted Harris, while 42 percent said they trusted Trump, with 11 percent unsure.

The gender gap widened on that issue among the poll’s respondents: 52 percent of Latinas sided with Harris on the economy, while only 41 percent of Hispanic men said they trusted Harris over Trump.

On immigration, 51 percent of California Hispanics said they trusted Harris on the issue, while 38 percent said the same of Trump. Harris again had bigger leads among women and older voters, but she polled higher than Trump on his signature issue among all demographic subsets.

In California, Harris is running ahead of Senate hopeful Rep. Adam Schiff (D), unlike in neighboring Arizona and Nevada, where Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) are both polling better than Harris in their respective Senate races.

While California is not competitive as a whole, Republicans are defending five toss-up House seats in the state, all of which have substantial Hispanic populations, including one district where Hispanics are the largest demographic group by race or ethnicity, and two where the majority of residents are Hispanic.
