Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has some favorable ratings among both Latinos and African-American voters, according to results of the latest Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll.
The poll's demographic breakdown showed that by combining voters who were "very favorable" and "somewhat favorable" to Trump, the billionaire developer got a positive rating from 35 percent of Hispanics and 24 percent of African-Americans.
- 18.4 percent of Hispanics rated him "very favorable;"
- 16.4 percent of Hispanics rated him "somewhat favorable."
Among black voters:
- 10.5 percent rated Trump "very favorable;"
- 13.3 percent rated Trump "somewhat favorable."
A Breitbart analysis of the poll notes Trump would not win with either group because 49 percent of Hispanics and 69 percent of African-Americans still have a "very unfavorable" view of him.
Hispanic support would help Trump in Florida, while African-American supporters will help him in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, according to Breitbart. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is equally unpopular with Hispanics, at 49 percent.
During an interview on Herald Radio, conservative author Ann Coulter discussed Trump's rising poll numbers among Hispanics and African-Americans, saying, "There is nothing frightening about Trump if you're here legally, and he is going to bring back jobs and raise your wages."
Another Herald poll released Tuesday showed Clinton retains a 3-point lead over Trump, a number that remains unchanged from two months ago.
