PBS Buries Figures from Own Poll Showing Hispanic
Post# of 65629
“With the 2020 presidential election already underway, 57 percent of registered voters said they would definitely vote against President Donald Trump, according to the latest poll from the PBS NewsHour, NPR and Marist,” the story read.
“Another 30 percent of voters said they would cast their ballot to support Trump, and an additional 13 percent said they had no idea who would get their vote.
So, let’s start with the obvious: If you’re a Trump supporter, that’s not a good sign. Even compared with the 2016 polls that showed Trump with no chance, this one seems to show him with, well, no-er chance.
Now, granted, it comes during a politically tempestuous period over a government shutdown and constant Democrat demonization of the border wall funding request that precipitated it.
Still, nobody will end up calling this good news.
However, one unusual trend in the poll — and how it compared with previous polls by NPR/PBS/Marist — should have stood out to anyone who took a close look at it. And yet it’s received relatively little play in media reports about the survey.
First, it’s worth noting Trump’s wall has not infrequently been called racist. This would mean, obviously, that the racism would be directed toward Latinos.
And yet, despite this characterization, support for Trump among Latino voters has shot up in a major way during the shutdown.

Compare that with January, when 29 percent strongly approved, 22 percent approved, 4 percent disapproved and 41 percent strongly disapproved.
While strong disapproval numbers might be hard to move, it seems basic disapproval numbers aren’t. And yet, even with those numbers in such flux, Latino voters said 27 percent definitely planned to vote for Trump while 58 percent planned to vote against him.
