The following screen grabs from Univision’s landing page for the poll summarize some of the toplines. This first image shows that Rubio has an edge over Trump with Latino Republicans.

These next two images present Trump’s chances against Clinton or Sanders with Latino voters in a general election. Rubio’s appeal with Latino voters is higher than Trump’s. Rubio surpasses Mitt Romney’s 27% 2012 showing with Latinos, while Trump is less than Bob Dole’s 1996 Latino numbers (21%).
