Trump vs Clinton polls update: Hispanics strongly behind Clinton, Trump edges white Catholics - Pew

Hispanic Catholics solidly support Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton while Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slightly tops divided white Catholics, according to the latest survey results from Pew Research Center.

The Pew Research Center released its latest survey on July 13 for this season's presidential elections, which revealed that Hispanic Catholics are strongly supportive of Clinton while white Catholics remain split between the two candidates, although leaning toward Trump.

The huge gap among Hispanics of 77-16 in favor of Clinton bears the striking impact on the presidential candidates' differences on the national issue of immigration.

"Let's not normalize what Trump is proposing. It's so extreme,"  America's Voice executive director Frank Sharry said regarding Trump's anti-immigration platform, according to Politifact.

Trump, waving his banner of "Make America Great Again," proposes deportation of immigrants, building a wall across the U.S.-Mexico border, and tightening immigration laws.

"It's outrageous and terrifying and so un-American," continued Sharry. "We are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws, and comprehensive immigration reform would create a modernized system that would make sure we are both of those things."

On the other hand, Clinton pledged to refuse any deportation among immigrants but rather to help them integrate into the American society.

"She's putting forward the most radical immigration plan ever put down on paper by a candidate," said executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian.

"She has pledged to refuse to deport any illegal alien who has not been convicted of a violent crime," added Krikorian.

Pew pegs that 20 percent of the electorate are Christian voters with two percent "other," five percent Hispanics and 13 percent white.

Among the white Catholics, Trump edges Clinton in a close margin with 50-46. Altogether, the Catholics show overwhelming support to Clinton with 56-39.

Atheists, agnostics and religious "nones" also stand behind Clinton with 67-23 while 75 percent Evangelicals favor Trump.
