The good news for the Harris campaign? She still holds a 12-poind lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump among Latino voters in the most recent poll by The Economist and YouGov. The bad news? It used to be a 17-point lead just one week before, as the former president continues to make in roads with the crucial demographic as the 2024 presidential race reaches its final days.
The poll, conducted from October 26 to 29, shows Harris with a 52% lead over Trump's 40% which, although seemingly a comfortable lead, has raised some alarms, especially as the Democrat lags way behind the historic Latino-voter threshold needed by Democrats to reach the White House (64%).
