Vice President Harris leads former President Trump by 34 percentage points among Latino voters in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, a Univision and YouGov survey shows.

Sixty-four percent of registered Latino voters in the state said they were voting for Harris, compared to 30 percent who said they were voting for Trump.

The survey was taken after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe kicked off a firestorm by calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Oct. 27. The joke landed as Trump and Republicans had been making some inroads with Latino voters, though Harris has consistently led with such voters by a wide margin. The vice president used the controversy to step up her outreach to the key voting bloc.

The survey showed that 69 percent of Latino respondents found the joke to be “more racist than humorous,” and 17 percent saw the remarks as an intended joke. Among Puerto Ricans specifically, 71 percent said that even with Hinchcliffe’s comments intended as a joke, they still suggest underlying racism in the Trump campaign.
