Hispanics View Clinton Most favorably (And Despise Trump)

Donald Trump loves to brag about how much he likes Hispanics, and how they will support him in his bid for the presidency. He's either the biggest liar in the presidential campaign, or is completely disconnected from reality. Hispanics have not forgotten that he kicked off his campaign by denigrating immigrants -- calling them rapists and criminals. And they understood the ethnic bigotry in his call for mass deportations, and for building a wall and making Mexico pay for it.

And a new Gallup Poll shows he is the most despised candidate in the presidential race (of either party) among Hispanics. The poll used reports done by Gallup between January and March of Hispanic adults, and had responses of over 1100 for each candidate. The margin of error is 4 points.

Donald Trump is viewed unfavorably by a whopping 77% of Hispanics, and favorably by only 12%. Those are terrible numbers, and not replicated for any other candidate. That is a 47 point higher negative rating than any other candidate.

On the other end of the scale, Hillary Clinton is the candidate viewed most favorably by Hispanics (59% to 26%). That's a 24 point higher positive rating than any other candidate -- with Bernie Sanders in second place with a 35% favorable rating.

Here is the net positive rating of each candidate (figured by subtracting unfavorability from favorability):

Clinton...............+33
Sanders...............+19
Rubio...............+6
Kasich...............+1
Cruz...............-4
Trump...............-65
