Although President Joe Biden won a majority of votes from Hispanics, 59 percent in the 2020 race, there was a significant difference in preference based on education, Pew reported.
Biden won 69 percent of college-degreed Latino voters, compared to 30 percent for Trump, a 39 percentage-point advantage. But Biden’s advantage over Trump narrowed with Hispanics with some college or less, 55 percent to 41 percent, a 14-point advantage.
Overall, Trump made slight gains with Hispanics, according to Pew. In 2016, 14 percent of Latinos voted for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and 6 percent for Trump. But in 2020, 11 percent of Latinos voted for Biden and 8 percent voted for Trump.
A similar educational divide was seen among white voters.
