PBS/NPR Poll: 50% Latino Approval for Trump

Post by Antiboyscout »

Article:
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj ... port-trump

"In early December, the poll had Trump’s approval rating among Latino adults at 31%.
The results from the poll released Thursday show the president’s job approval among Latino adults at 50%.
That is an astonishing 19 point swing. Prior results had less variance, with Latino approval numbers at 36% in their November 1st findings. It was 27% in the pollster’s mid-October survey.
The January poll was conducted during the government shutdown over border wall funding, most notably. So the big swing among Latinos was while Trump and Democrats faced off over funding for the wall."

Yeah, I doubt these poll numbers. Then again, I doubt polls in general. After 2016, how do you know what's false and what isn't? The answer is just make up your own fucking mind. Nothing matters.

You should stop getting your news from social media links and do some compare, contrast and speculate on your own.

I think you've accused me of this before, Slash, and I've told you before I stay away from those places. Please don't put words in my mouth again.

On Discord and Skype (only among my super close friends, some of which are right-wingers) and here.

You have to be dumpster diving to get caught with fake news. It's not hard to figure out which sources are reputable, and if you see something significant from a site you don't know, then it's likely to have been covered by a distinguished source. Then more viral stuff is often covered by politifact and other fact checkers for you to verify.
A world on fire.

Okay, that's...not how I'm seeing the NPR source article? It says they are are "among the least likely to say they want their elected officials to compromise", which is a bit different than saying they approve of his performance.
