Story highlights A new poll shows Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump 62% to 23% with Latino voters

Of those surveyed, 74% said they have an unfavorable opinion of the presumptive Republican nominee

(CNN) Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump faces a serious challenge with Latinos, according to a Fox News Latino poll published Friday, trailing Hillary Clinton among those voters by nearly forty points.

Clinton leads Trump 62% to 23% with Latino voters, according the poll out Friday. And 74% said they have an unfavorable opinion of the likely Republican standard-bearer.

The steep numbers underscore Trump's challenge in the general election, with Latino voters -- one of the fastest-growing parts of the electorate -- particularly in swing states out West. Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney among Latinos by 44 points in 2012.

"Much was made during the 2012 election about Mitt Romney's dismal performance among Latino voters (27 percent)," Fox reports. "But Trump's current 23 percent ... paired with the 74% unfavorable rating has the real estate mogul facing a monumental task if he wants to win over Latinos."
