Poll reveals if the Puerto Rico 'island of garbage' joke has damaged Trump
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 30 2024 | Wills Robinson

When a speaker at Donald Trump's wild Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday compared Puerto Rico to a 'floating island of garbage' it sparked outrage.

But wall-to-wall media coverage of the incident involving comedian Tony Hinchcliffe appears not to have changed many minds when it comes to voting.

Just 0.7 percent of the electorate have a more negative view of Trump following the incident, which happened during a five-hour MAGA marathon in the heart of Manhattan.

I’d say the 0.7 percent polled were already supporting Commielaw anyways.

The joke would have been funny at a comedy club.

It is not funny on MAGA's world stage.

All the “outrage” didn’t amount to anything.

By definition it had to be a “push poll” since the vast majority of people knew nothing about it until the pollster told them about it!

I don’t buy it. This is the last thing on someone’s mind. I was just called garbage by Biden but I don’t care one bit because I have called him things much worse.

Yep. He is also second or third tier. Not a headliner.

Look at the news...now and earlier. Puerto Rico has had garbage troubles for years. OUR EPA even went after them. Real Puerto folks knew what he was talking about. And those PRs tht are here...guess why...cuz it’s an island of garbage...

I agree. I just read that the joke referred to the landfills in PR which are overfilled, and has been a long-standing problem..

The joke had nothing to do with the people of PR.

It was a joke. Those who don’t think so were never voting Trump anyway. What Biden said WASN’T FUNNY WHATSOEVER!

What poll, “Which percentage of Trump supporters view Joe Biden more negatively after he called them garbage? I don’t think Joe Biden lost many MAGA votes for Harris

On the noon news broadcasts they were saying the garbage joke came from Trump himself, cutting the comic guy right out of it, no mention of him.
 
The media is partisan scum.

Exactly! I’d be interested in knowing what a voter was supporting Donald Trump for in the first place if an insult comedian guest entertainer offended that the voter now will support Harris.

Fine for a comedy club, stupid for a rally at MSG.
