Donald Trump won among Nevada's Hispanic voters, entrance poll data shows.
According to Fox News' entrance surveys of 25 precincts across the Silver State Tuesday, Trump had support from 45 percent of Hispanic voters. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio got 28 percent of the Hispanic vote and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz garnered 18 percent.
The Hill reports MSNBC's entrance polls had Trump winning 44 percent of Hispanic voters, topping Rubio's 29 percent and Cruz's 18 percent.
"You know what I am really happy about? I've been saying it for a long time: 46 percent with Hispanics, No 1. with Hispanics," the real estate billionaire said of the win early Wednesday, The Hill reports.
The political statistics analyzing website, FiveThirtyEight, cautions the sample size on the entrance data "is somewhere between 100 and 200 people."
"That means the margin of sampling error for the Hispanic subgroup is near +/- 10 percentage points (or even higher)," writers Nate Silver and Harry Enten write.
The site also reports 8 percent of Republican voters were Hispanic.
Previous polls have shown Trump lags in favorability among Hispanics nationally.
