Latino voters are talking about the November election

Las Vegas (KSNV) — Nevadans can start voting on Saturday, October 19, and with early voting almost here, we’re checking the pulse of a critical voting bloc: Latinos.

This group of voters represents 20 percent of the electorate here in Nevada.

Whether it’s a panel discussion with Hispanic Trump supporters in North Las Vegas or a town hall with undecided Latinos questioning Vice President Kamala Harris at UNLV’s Cox Pavilion, each presidential hopeful is opting for a more nice to reach this important demographic.

The latest NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll shows Harris leading with Latinos with 54 percent support nationwide, compared to Trump’s 40 percent support.

While Harris has a 14-point lead, NBC News reports that it is smaller than previous leads held by Democratic presidential candidates in 2012, 2016 and 2020.

Some reasons Latino voters support Trump are the same reasons others say they root for Harris.

That’s just some of what we’re hearing from voters ahead of decision day.

Next week, during our “Voice of the Voter” report, we’ll attend a political science class at UNLV as young voters weigh in this election season.
