Harris and Trump Battle for Hispanic Voters on Key Issues

Kamala Harris has countered Donald Trump's traditional lead on the economy among Hispanic voters, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. Harris registers a 13 percentage point lead driven by her healthcare and climate change policies.

The poll, conducted from Aug. 21-28, reveals that Hispanic voters in the U.S., a crucial and fast-growing slice of the electorate, align closely with the broader national priorities, emphasizing economy, immigration, healthcare, and climate change.

While Trump prevails on immigration issues, Harris draws significant support for healthcare and climate initiatives. This demographic, pivotal to November's election, is showing swing voter tendencies, making both campaigns vie fervently for their favor.
