Poll finds Hispanic disapproval of Trump rhetoric on illegal immigrants
Washington Post ^ | July 16, 2015 | Dan Balz and Peyton M. Craighill

Posted on 07/16/2015 7:46:15 AM PDT by Zakeet

As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump travels the country issuing strong condemnations of illegal immigrants and the government of Mexico, Hispanic voters are listening — and they don’t like what they are hearing, according to a new survey.

The Univision News Poll, conducted by the independent research firm Bendixen & Amandi International with the Tarrance Group, shows that 7 in 10 Hispanic registered voters say they have an unfavorable impression of the New York businessman. Nine in 10 Hispanics say they have heard about Trump’s comments and, when read specific remarks, nearly 8 in 10 say they find them offensive.

Fair and biased polling within the Hispanics?

Of course they find it offensive. It slows the process of “Reconquista.”

The legal Mexicans have much more to gain in the forms of jobs if the illegals were not able to take jobs. A vote for the communists Democrats will see more illegals let in the US.

That is weird how come I wasn’t polled? I happen to be American with Mexican ancestry.

Are they talking about American citizen Hispanics, or illegal aliens?

Many left Mexico because of the criminal element.

You, or I could conduct a poll to say whatever we want it to say. Truth be damned.

The surprise is 3 in 10 are not unfavorable. That’s better than Romney did.

There are groups that like Trump that nearly all media miss and even some of us miss. The groups are repub and dem voters.

Legal immigrants of all stripes want the illegal flow to stop.
Unskilled laborers (could be black, immigrant, white, whatever) want the illegal flow to stop.
Regular working, tax paying folks want the illegal flow to stop.

Few voters want it to continue and Trump has given us cover to proclaim it. The powers that want to continue the flow have been relying on pressure from pols and media to prevent people from saying it...but Trump is not cowed by them. They’re scared of him bc of that.

He’ll come out in favor of religious liberty soon and lots of Hispanics and blacks will support that. Again, repub and dems support religious freedom protection.

He has more than just “some of the far right wing” as I frequently read or hear. He has a swath of everyone.

7 in 10 so he will still get 30% of the Hispanic vote. Just about normal for the GOP. He could have said anything and the Hispanics would still not want him.

I just noticed a headline on Drudge that says that Florida has become the prime destination for settling immigrants. Looks like our handlers are keen on inflating the democrat voting bloc for next year.

A self serving “poll” from Univision who are being sued by Donald Trump? Really Washington Post!
Second, like I give two hoots if Mexican illegals( who fraudulently vote overwhelming for Democrats) are offended or not.

Sometimes they say “white hats” or “tattoos”. A town full of Mexican workers in ag towns in California, on weekends out come the white shirts and white hats. Different family values altogether than “tattoos” in the city.

The Hispanic vote doesn't matter. Only the White vote does.
If Romney won 70% of the Hispanic vote, he would still have lost.
If Romney had won just 4.5% more of the White vote, he would now be president.

every GOP candidate needs to post the above on their campaign HQ wall.

“Hispanic disapproval” or illegal alien disapproval..

were the poll takers asked if they were “undocumented” or DREAMers” or “immigrants” (not meaning the legal kind)
