The failed independent presidential candidate also said Hinchcliffe’s description of Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during a widely panned routine was a “gift to [Democratic National Committee] strategists striving to blunt President Trump’s exploding support among Latinos.”
Kennedy’s claim about surging Latino support for Trump came the same day Florida International University said a poll it conducted showed that “most Latino voters say they support Vice President Kamala Harris.”
The FIU poll, conducted Oct. 10 to 22 before Sunday’s rally, found Harris had a 54.7 percent favorability rating in the seven key swing states, compared to 22.7 percent for Trump.
An online tracker by the Americas Society/Council of the Americas also showed Latino support for Trump at 40 percent, compared to 52 percent for Harris in an earlier New York Times/Siena College poll conducted from Sept. 29 to Oct. 6.
Trump’s support was unchanged from an Sept. 16-23 NBC/Telemundo/CNBC poll and up just 1 percentage point from an Aug. 26-Sept. 7 Pew Research Center poll, according to AS/COA.
