OBVIOUS. >> HE WILL BE ACCLIMATED. >> ACCLEMENTED. >>> A NEW POLL OUT, MORE THAN 3,000 LATINO VOTERS SHOWS VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WITH A 27 POINT LEAD OVER DONALD TRUMP AMONG PEOPLE IN THAT DEMOGRAPHIC, BUT STILL UNDERPERFORMING DEMOCRATS IN PAST ELECTIONS. THE POLL COMMISSIONED BY THE LARGEST LATINO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN THE COUNTRY. JOINING US WITH AN EXCLUSIVE EARLY LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF THE POLL, NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT, ANCHOR OF ""NBC NEWS DAILY"" MORGAN RADFORD. WHAT MORE DID YOU LEARN? >> A LOT OF NEW TAKEAWAYS SINCE IT IS THE FIRST LATINO POLL THIS BY SINCE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SECURED THE PARTY'S NOMINATION. THIS IS THE U.S. ACTION FUND AND THEY HAVE ENDORSED THE BIDEN-HARRIS TICKET IN MAY AND ENDORSED HARRIS IN JULY. THE FOUNDING PARTNER THE MATT BARRETTO WHICH WORKED FOR THE CAMPAIGN IN 2020, WHICH IS TO SAY EVEN THOUGH IT FOCUSES ON THIS, IT IS STILL MATCHING UP WITH OTHER POLLS. HARRIS HAS SOMETHING THAT THE CAMPAIGN MIGHT POINT TO AS MOMENTUM. IF YOU COMPARE IT TO THE 2020 EXIT POLL THAT MARGIN IS STILL MARGIN THAN THE 33 POINT LEAD BIDEN HAD AMONG LATINOS WHEN HE WON AND A SMALLER LEAD THAN CLINTON AND OBAMA HAD IN 2016 AND 2012 RESPECTIVELY. CHECK THIS OUT. ANOTHER INTERESTING THING WE ARE FINDING OUT FOR FIRST TIME, J.D. VANCE AS TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE MAY BE HURTING HIM WITH LATINO VOTERS NATIONALLY. IN FACT, HE DOES A FEW POINTS WORSE WITH VANCE ON THE TICKET THAN BY HIMSELF. FOR HARRIS, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE ADDITION OF TIM WALZ IS SLIGHTLY POSITIVE BUT THE EFFECT IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME. BOTH OF THOSE SHIFTS THERE ARE WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR, BUT THE BIG QUESTION, WHAT ARE THE TOP ISSUES FOR LATINO VOTERS RIGHT NOW? THEY ARE STILL THOSE POCKETBOOK ISSUES. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INFLATION, JOBS, THE ECONOMY, HOUSING, AND THAT'S TRUE ACROSS ALL DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, SUBGROUPS WITHIN THIS POPULATION. SO THAT MEANS THAT'S THE SAME FOR MEN, FOR WOMEN, FOR OLDER VOTERS, ET CETERA. BUT ALSO WHAT ABOUT THE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES? YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IF YOU LOOK AT THE BATTLEGROUND STATES THAT HARRIS IS LEADING TRUMP AMONG LATINOS IN ALL OF THEM. OF COURSE, THIS MATTERS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF HISPANIC ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN EACH OF THOSE STATES IS LARGER THAN THE MARGIN OF VICTORY FOR EITHER CANDIDATE BACK IN 2020. WE SPOKE TO LATINO VOTERS IN SOME OF THE BATTLEGROUND STATES AND IN FLORIDA TO REALLY HEAR WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. >> I'M MORE ENTHUSIASTIC NOW ABOUT VOTING. >> BECAUSE IT IS A YOUNGER CANDIDATE, FOR SURE. JUST SEEING HOW EXCITED PEOPLE ARE, PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY'RE JUST AS EXCITED AS WHEN OBAMA WAS RUNNING IN 2008. >> I'M STILL ABOUT THE SAME. I'M STILL ABOUT THE SAME. I WASN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR BIDEN NO MATTER WHAT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY AND HOW BAD THINGS HAVE GONE. >> WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT HE TERRIFIED THE IMMIGRANTS, ESPECIALLY HISPANICS. ALL THEY WERE HERE IS TO DO IS WORK. >> LATINOS ARE PUTTING EXCLAMATION POINT ON HOUSING. I THINK THAT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO REACH OUT, CERTAINLY ON ECONOMIC ISSUES, ALSO ON RESPONSES TO GUN VIOLENCE, A MORE BALANCED AND EFFECT TO IMMIGRATION. >> YOU HEARD THAT KEYWORD, "OPPORTUNITY." IT IS STILL EARLY DAYS. SOME EVIDENCE THAT THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR PERSUASION AMONG MANY LATINO VOTERS. MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE POLLED, 55%, SAY THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY EITHER PARTY. >> FASCINATING. SO, MORGAN, IS THERE ANY SENSE AS YOU PUT THIS IN SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT, WHICH IS, YES, KAMALA HARRIS IS MAKING UP GROUND FROM WHERE JOE BIDEN WAS, BUT, AS YOU SAID, IT IS NOT WHERE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TYPICALLY IN TERMS OF THEIR ADVANTAGE AMONG LATINO VOTERS. IS THERE ANY SENSE WHY THAT HAS ERODED THIS TIME AROUND FROM YEARS PAST? >> YEAH, IT IS INTERESTING. WE HAVEN'T SEEN FROM THE POLL WHERE AND HOW THAT HAS ERODED, BUT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS HOW DIFFERENT THE POPULATION LOOKS THIS TIME AROUND. TWO BIG TAKEAWAYS FOR ME. ONE, HOW YOUNG THIS POPULATION IS. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION WILL BE VOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THIS ELECTION. BUT TO YOUR POINT, IT ALSO DESCRIBES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT IMMIGRATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALWAYS HEAR ASSOCIATED WITH LATINO VOTERS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS IT IS FIFTH LIKE COMPARED TO GUN VIOLENCE AND CRIME. BUT THERE'S A DISTINCTION, WILLIE, BETWEEN HOW PEOPLE GOT HERE AND WHAT THEY DO ONCE THEY GET HERE FOR A LOT OF VOTERS. ONLY 24% SAY THEY WOULD SUPPORT FINISHING THE WALL, BUT ALMOST HALF WANT TO SEE PEOPLE PROTECTED FROM DEPORTATION IF THEY'VE BEEN HERE WORKING IN THIS COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS. YOU ARE STARTING TO SEE NUANCES COME OUT NOW IN THE RECENT POLL. >> A GROUP OF VOTERS WHO COULD BE DECISIVE IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. NBC NEWS
