Nevada aside, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders trail among U.S. Latinos

If Hispanic voters in Nevada are representative of the rest of the country, the most popular candidate with Hispanic Democrats is Bernie Sanders and the most popular Republican is Donald Trump. When those numbers, from entrance poll data reported by CNN, first came to light, they were met with a good deal of skepticism. Could Sanders really be beating Hillary Clinton? Could Donald "Let's Build A Wall" Trump be the most popular Republican?

Now, we can offer a more concrete answer. No, and no -- at least not nationally, and with some notable exceptions.

A new poll from The Washington Post and Univision finds that Hillary Clinton is the most popular candidate among Hispanics who plan to vote in the Democratic primary, and Sen. Marco Rubio is the most popular among those who plan to vote Republican. The poll, which was conducted before Jeb Bush dropped out after South Carolina, found Clinton leading Sanders by a wide margin, with Rubio's lead over Trump and Cruz much narrower. (Support from Bush backers was reallocated to those voters' second choices.)

Translation: Real Hispanic votes aside. Trump still trails with Hispanics in our make believe polls.

[MNJohnnie]

Got it. IGNORE the actual votes, pay attention to our Media narrative.

If they count illegal Latinos, their opinion is unworthy, unwanted, and criminal.

We, who are here legally, only care about what Latino citizens think when it comes to that topic.

This is just spin, because they know damn well Trump doesn’t need to win Hispanics. He needs to increase the normal percentage to win.

He’s doing far more than that IMO.

Legels hate illegals

if enough blue dog democrats join Trump we do not need them anyway

Bet Trump gets more than Mittens

Gee, those Washington guys invested in the Uni-Party are really in panic mode, eh?

[Vigilanteman]

My father-in-law's father and his father before him were both born and raised in Puerto Rico and hated being classified as Hispanic or Latino. They came to America to get away from backward socialist culture, not to transplant it.

"A new poll from The Washington Post and Univision..."

Yep, no bias poll there...

[tumblindice]

82,948th warning (with WashCompost/Mexivision poll AND snazzy graphics) that `Trump Is Imploding!’.
Here, he’s losing the Hispanics he swept in Nevada.
