Voto Latino President Maria Teresa Kumar mentioned that the polling was initiated in response \u200cto claims of Latinos shifting towards Donald Trump, which they found inconsistent with their data. Although Latino voters support many of Biden&#8217;s policies, his \u200cperceived mishandling of the economy has led to a defection towards third-party candidates, particularly among Latina women, with RFK Jr. being a primary beneficiary.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Independent presidential candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rfk-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Robert F.
