Miami, Jul 16 (EFE).- More than six out of every 10 U.S. Hispanic voters prefer Democrat Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 over Republican Jeb Bush, according to a survey released Thursday by the Univision television network.
When asked for whom they would vote if the election were between Clinton and Bush, 64 percent said they favored the former secretary of state and 27 percent said they would cast their ballots for the ex-governor of Florida, who speaks fluent Spanish.
If the election were between Clinton and Republican real estate magnate Donald Trump, 70 percent would support the former and 16 percent the latter.
“El Voto Latino” (The Latino Vote) is the first bipartisan national poll to be taken of Hispanic voters for the 2016 election cycle.
Survey firms Bendixen & Amandi and The Tarrance Group interviewed 1,400 registered Hispanic in English and Spanish between June 12-25 and July 7-13, and the poll has an error margin of 2.62 percent.
Sixty-eight percent of Latino voters have a favorable opinion of Clinton, who is running for president for the second time, while just 36 percent feel the same way about Bush.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, another Republican hopeful for the GOP presidential nomination, has favorable ratings from 35 percent of the Hispanics polled.
Latino voters feel that the Democratic Party is “more in tune” with their ideas on the economy and immigration than the Republican Party.
Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Democrats, 18 percent as Republicans and 25 percent as independents.
Surprisingly, Latinos – 68 percent – feel that speaking Spanish fluently is not an important requirement for someone aspiring to the presidency, the survey found.
With regard to Trump, the majority of Hispanic voters – 79 percent – feel that his recent comments about Mexican immigrants were “offensive,” although only 14 percent feel that they represent the general point of view of the Republican Party.
Among the Hispanics declaring themselves to be Republicans, just 7 percent would vote in the Republican primaries for Trump.
On the other hand, 92 percent of the Hispanic voters surveyed said that it is “very likely” that they will vote in the 2016 elections.
The issues those voters consider to be the most important are: jobs, the economy, education, healthcare and immigration, in that order.
Fifty-nine percent of Hispanics say that they are satisfied with the job performance of U.S. President Barack Obama over the past six years. EFE

Well in the words of Gomer Pyle “SUPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!”
I really don’t care what they think. I would like to know how many of the 68% are NOT illegal’s ANA WHY THE F HAVE NONE OF THE CANDITATES MADE ANY F’N COMMENT ON CHATTANOOGA.
Send the Muslim’s up to Sand Mountain they will be taken care of
As long as she keeps saying she will be stuffing the ballot boxes and getting more dead people on the voting rolls, as well as saying she will give the illegals all freebies and then some – why you ask yourself shouldn’t they want to vote for her – then us hard working Americans without jobs later for spent all our taxpayer money on the illegals freebies and crap!
Absolutely, She is just like the clown in office…They will vote for whom ever is passing out the free stuff so they can lay back and commit crimes….
What did they expect from this poll? When one party is issuing executive orders that allow more illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation and are pushing for a “path” to citizenship, while the other party wants to close the border and immigration laws enforced, who do you think Latinos will vote for? To liberals, it is all about VOTES, NOT what is best for U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. But, that is what you get when you agree with the liberal’s agenda.
even with the scandals and she did say that she would go further than Obama with illegal immigration…so, that is their answer , and lets not forget all of obamas regulations and agreements will stay intact! Don’t vote for this bi7ch !
Poor mexicans as well as poor blacks and poor white will vote for who ever offers the best freebies! They don’t even realize this nation is BROKE! The more money the fed prints, the worst our financial hole is dug!
WRONG SURVEY IT SHOULD BE CLINTON VS TRUMP.
VIVA EL TRUMPO. LATINOS VAYA TE FIESTA. GOD FAMILY JOBS.SOAP sent you a message.

Of course they prefer Clinton, she’s a Democrat, and they hand out the most welfare. Which is why I can’t understand why Republicans are pandering to them in the first place. Donald Trump is right! And how many Hispanics are actually entitled to vote legally?
They don’t care because it’s not their money.
Both are oligarch control freaks and the wrong people. we all live in massive illusions !
Well, of course they don’t care and for the reason you express. I’m not sure who’s money it is today. The fed gov. spends 3 to 4 times more than they bring in each quarter. What is happening here in our country is the same as what’s going on in Greece and the rest of Europe. They continue to add debt to a bogus credit card. It prolongs the inevitable for a little longer, but with each debit, they add more interest. It’s to the point that it is unpayable!
My problem is simple. If the entire world is in the same situation as it is, what group is all of this principle and interest owed to? WHO?
This is why Mexican’s shouldn’t vote unless they know what they are doing. They probably like her because of her bleached hair. Because her & Jeb are both louzy. She belongs in jail, and we have had enough of Bush’s & Clinton’s!
