    My dumb old Gen-X brain assumed they were using Latino non-gender-specifically, but then I saw this in the article, so I guess not?

    Harris also has a lead among the state’s Latinas — 53 percent said they support the vice president and 37 percent declared for Trump.

    With a 16 point lead with Latinas, I wonder what the Latinx gender breakdown is 🤔

      Well that’s how you make a misleading headline. I assumed the same, thanks for pointing it out.

        I think they did mean it as a gender neutral term, they just get confusing deeper in. This is the overall take away:

        According to the poll, 48 percent of Florida Hispanics support Trump, 41 percent support Harris, 7 percent are undecided, and 4 percent back other candidates.
