A new poll shows Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton holds a 54-point lead over Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump—among people living in Mexico.

The YouGov poll, conducted on behalf of the Handelsblatt Global Edition, asked 20,000 adults in every G20 country who they would like to see elected president of the U.S. in 2016.

The poll shows that in Mexico, Clinton leads Trump by 54 points.

Trump has made controversial remarks regarding Mexico, most notably the claim that the Mexican government is “sending” criminals and rapists over the border.

Clinton, on the other hand, has vocalized her support for immigration reform, including expanding President Obama’s amnesty programs.

Clinton also leads Trump over by 15 points in every country except Russia.

Trump, who has spoken fondly of Russian President Vladimir Putin, leads Clinton by 21 points in Russia.

Among Russians, Trump receives 31 percent of support compared to 10 percent for Clinton. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Republican candiate Ted Cruz both receive only 1 percent of support in Russia.
