Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks at a the National Council of La Raza Annual Conference on July 13, 2015, in Kansas City, Mo. Charlie Riedel—AP by [Jacob Koffler](https://time.com/author/jacob-koffler/) ## Jacob Koffler Jul 16, 2015 4:31 PM UTC Hillary Clinton is a winner among Hispanic voters. That’s the takeaway from a [survey](http://huelladigital.univisionnoticias.com/the-latin-vote/) of Hispanic voters conducted for Noticias Univisión. When asked who they would vote for if the presidential election were to take place today, 64% of respondents said they would pick Clinton. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was Clinton’s closest Republican rival but significantly trailed the Democratic candidate at 27%. The bipartisan survey, conducted by Bendixen and Amandi and The Tarrance Group, found that Clinton edged out Bush–49% to 44%–even in a head-to-head match in Florida. Clinton doesn’t just decimate the Republican competition. While 73% of respondents said they would vote for her in the Democratic primary, 68% said they did not know or have not yet formed an opinion about Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, one of Clinton’s chief Democratic rivals. The survey also revealed Hispanic public opinion of Donald Trump after his derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants, and found that 79% of Hispanic voters found his comments offensive. If the Republican primary were held today, only 7% would vote for Trump, compared to 38% voting for Bush, 22% for Florida Senator Marco Rubio and 12% for Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Despite only 16% of those surveyed identifying as Republican, compared to 58% as Democrats, more respondents said they were conservative than liberal. That being said, only 15% said they would vote for a candidate who is opposed to legalizing undocumented citizens, a stance many of the Republican contenders have taken. Immigration isn’t the only issue important to Hispanic voters: an “overwhelming majority of voters” consider job creation and the state of the nation’s economy, education, healthcare and immigration, in that order, the most important campaign issues. The Hispanic vote will be key for presidential contenders in 2016, with recent projections placing the number of Hispanic people living in America at [55 million](http://www.pewhispanic.org/). Latinos made up an estimated [8% of voters](http://www.pewhispanic.org/2014/11/07/hispanic-voters-in-the-2014-election/) in the 2014 election and the Hispanic electorate is expected to [double by 2030](http://www.pewhispanic.org/2012/11/14/an-awakened-giant-the-hispanic-electorate-is-likely-to-double-by-2030/). ## Transcript You know, I'm not sittin' here some little woman standing here by my man like Tammy Wynette. I'm sittin' here because I love him, and I respect him. Now is our chance to beat the historical odds, and give the American people the health security they need. If there is one message that echoes forth from this. Let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right- wing conspiracy that has been conspiring. Against my husband since the day he announced for president. I would be happy to, when you give me the signed letters. Well, right here. Right here. When you give me. Right here. Sign it right now. We'll shake. We'll shake on this, Ray. No, no, I want your signature, cause I think that everybody wants to see you signing something that you said you were for. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. I just don't wanna see us fall backwards. Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. The battle to stop Al Qaeda and its affiliates. Does not end with one death. What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. I took the unprecedented step of asking that the state department make all my work- related emails, [ MUSIC ] Public for everyone to see.
