Vice-President Kamala Harris has been boosted by polls showing her standing among Latino voters higher than Donald Trump‘s, reversing a recent trend of declining support in key demographics for Democrats.

The Latino vote may be very important in Tuesday’s election, especially since the Florida International University Latino Poll found that 80 percent of respondents were “very likely” to vote, which is higher than in previous elections.

The most recent survey of 1,500 Latino voters across the country also found that Harris had a major lead over Trump, with a 54.7 percent favorability rating in key battleground states and 56.9% nationally.

Trump’s favorability was recorded as 27.7 percent in swing states and 33.4 percent nationally, according to the poll, which was conducted Oct. 10-22, with a margin of error of 2.9 percent.

Harris’ support among Latinos is close to Biden’s 59 percent to 38 percent lead over Trump in the 2020 election, estimated by the Pew Research Center.

The Los Angeles Times reported that it was significant that it exceeded the 41 percent support Biden had in July, immediately after a poor debate performance that caused him to drop out of the presidential race.

Eduardo Gamarra, director of the Latino Public Opinion Forum at FIU’s Gordon Institute, said Los Angeles Times that the change in popularity “is explained by the departure of the president and the arrival of Kamala Harris.”

Newsweek has reached out to both campaigns for comment.

Nearly half (45 percent) of respondents said the economy was the most important issue, with 11.1 percent citing reproductive rights and 8.8 percent saying it was immigration.

In a statement in FIU’s press release, Carlos Díaz-Rosillo, founding director of the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom, said the survey showed that Latino voters “are concerned about economic issues such as inflation, the availability of work and general economic stability”.

The poll was conducted ahead of remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, in which he called Puerto Rico a “floating trash island,” sparking accusations of racism.

A Trump aide distanced the former president from the joke, which was also denounced by Harris. However, the Democratic candidate received the endorsement of two of the biggest stars of the Latin American community, the Puerto Rican rapper. The bad bunny and singer Jennifer Lopez, who condemned Hinchcliffe’s comments.

“It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day,” she said at a Harris rally Thursday. “It was every Latino in this country.”
