A new survey shows that a significant majority of Puerto Ricans in Florida support Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House while holding a negative view of former President Donald Trump. Conducted by the Puerto Rico Research Hub at the University of Central Florida, the poll gathered responses from about 150 Puerto Ricans predominantly residing in Central Florida between October 21 and 30.

The survey found that 85% of respondents would vote for Harris, while only 8% expressed support for Trump. Six percent indicated they would consider a third-party candidate. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
