**Latino Voters in Florida Show Support for Trump Over Harris: New Poll Reveals Key Insights**

A new poll indicates that former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris among Latino voters in Florida, a significant demographic in the state's electorate. The Telemundo Station Group poll reveals that Trump garners 48 percent of the support from likely Latino voters, while Harris trails with 41 percent.

The poll highlights a noticeable gender divide. Hispanic women registered as likely voters show more support for Harris, with 53 percent backing her compared to Trump's 37 percent. Conversely, Trump has a strong lead among Hispanic men, securing 60 percent support while Harris has 28 percent.

The survey also explored Latino voters' views on key issues. Fifty percent of likely Latino voters support the legalization of marijuana for adults aged 21 and over. Additionally, 55 percent of Latino voters support the Right to Abortion Initiative, which aims to protect abortion access until fetal viability.

Conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy between September 23-25, the poll surveyed 625 registered likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Latino voters represent a crucial voting bloc in Florida. An analysis by the Latino Policy and Politics Institute at UCLA found that in the 2020 election, Latino voters in Miami-Dade County largely supported Trump by a 2 to 1 margin, whereas Latinos elsewhere in the state favored Biden similarly.

Latinos make up about 14.7% of eligible voters in the United States, equating to 36.2 million people, according to the Pew Research Center. In Florida specifically, 18% of registered voters are Hispanic, approximately 2.4 million individuals, based on an October 2023 analysis by the nonpartisan Latino advocacy group NALEO Educational Fund.
