Donald Trump previously said: I will win the Hispanic vote in this election.
Guess what? Hes right.
In a Public Policy Polling survey, Trump leads with 34% of Hispanic voters, surpassing Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. What makes this poll even more delicious, is that it had to be reported on Univision:
ROGELIO MORA TAGLE, CORRESPONDENT: And its that upon launching his campaign, Trump said among other things that the people who emigrate from Mexico bring to the United States drugs, crime and are rapists. Those comments, for 55% of those polled, are insulting and racist, and out of place in a presidential campaign.
But despite the negative numbers, among those polled there is also a percentage that believes the controversy generated by Donald Trump has helped bring to the table a very important topic: immigration. Thats what 29% believe, while another 14% believe Donald Trump had the courage to say what he thinks. (link)
That popping sound youre hearing is the rapid noise of media and punditry splodey heads.
LOL...I think Yeb’s numbers were inflated 24%!
I have best friends who are 4th generation hispanic that are all for Trump. They are as sick and tired of the open borders cr@p as we are.
Lol. Yeah, sure.
About that graphichow is there 124% of the Hispanic vote to go around?
Using Jeb’s common core math of course.
Lol, true! It’s from Univision. Maybe they were trying to give el Jeb some extra :)
The polls or Univision? ; )
OK, this is good, but let’s put it in perspective. Trump is leading among Hispanic Republicans. Among Hispanics in general, polling shows him losing to Hillary, at this point anyway.
Just talked to a third generation Mexican American who echoed exactly what you said.
Her concern wee lack of military experience. When she discovered he had attended a military school from age 13-18 and wee eventually rated 4F her comment was “why aren’t we told these things?”
Since it is not being withheld like 0 history that’s become my question too! MSM agenda?
Of course he’s leading with Hispanics. He’s for amnesty.
how can the poll report a total over 100 percent ?
I believe you are right. The segment of minorities that want opportunity and jobs will vote for Trump.
Most Hispanics are most likely going to vote for the Democrats no matter what. After all, this poll is only talking about Republican Hispanics. So most of them are going for the Democrats. However, the GOP might be able to snag a significant minority of Hispanics if it would stop pandering and appeal to them as Americans. It could attract more assimilated Hispanics from families which have been here longer.
Cruz at 30% ? Happily surprising this news is. I can’t see droves of latino/hispanic catholics rushing out to vote for the demonrats as more information about the genocidal maniacs at planned parenthood reaches them.
Ted Cruz is a smart man—he will kick back—lets see what he does in the debate. I think he will ride in and defend Trump—attack (from behind) Jebster and Christie Cream. He is going to be pro-trump but also his own man. If Trump falters—Cruz can pick up his support, If Trump doesn’t, there is the VP consideration. For Cruz its win-win.
Wait until they admit he’s leading with Latino Democrats...
