A question on a new poll released by Univision, surveying Latinos about the upcoming presidential election, asked registered voters if they died from the Wuhan virus.
“Over the past few months, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, have you, or someone in your household: Died because of coronavirus?” question 42 asked.
According to the question results, 89 percent of people answered that they, in fact, did not die from COVID-19, nor did anyone in their household.
In addition to questions about current events and voters’ opinions about the presidential election, the poll also asked voters about their support for or opposition to President Donald Trump’s ability to nominate a replacement justice to the Supreme Court after the recent death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The leading questions, however, contained references to certain policies, even suggesting that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals could potentially be “struck down.”
“In 2016, Republicans blocked Obama from appointing a justice to the SCOTUS when Scalia died, saying in an election year the next president should pick. However, Trump and Republicans are planning to place a new justice on the Court now, before this election. With the additional Trump justice, the new Court could strike down DACA. If Trump replaces Ginsburg with a new justice in the next few weeks, will that make you more likely to support Trump or more likely to support Biden in the presidential election?” question three of the Supreme Court Supplement to the poll asked.
Despite previous question responses suggesting that 41 percent of Latinos support Trump’s ability to nominate a new justice before the election and 46 percent oppose it, once framed in light of DACA, only 23 percent of Latino voters said they would support Trump in the election, while 55 percent said they would support Biden.
According to the overall presidential projections, Biden is polling ahead of Trump 66 percent to 24 percent among Latino registered voters. Out of the three states surveyed, Florida supposedly has the closest margin, with Biden leading Trump 52 percent to 36 percent, while Biden leads Texas 66 percent to 25 percent. The former vice president leads Arizona 65 percent to 25 percent.
The poll, which was conducted by Latino Decisions and North Star Opinion Research in conjunction with Univision from Sept. 17-24, sampled 1,962 Latinos in Arizona, Florida, and Texas over the phone and online. The results yielded an overall margin of error of +/- 2.21, with each state’s individual margin of error being over +/- 4.0: the Texas portion (n=401) being +/- 4.89, Arizona (n=401) being 4.89, and Florida (n=500) being +/- 4.38.
Sorry that’s privileged information.....
Tax cuts is what got me.
I died once.
Nurse OD’d me with morphine.
So does that I’m immortal now?
Have you been playing Oregon Trail again?
I dont see the problem.
If the dead can vote they can respond to surveys.
They should have framed it this way:
Conclusion. Conclusion. Conclusion, conclusion. Conclusion. Conclusion?
We have the card game.
ROFLLLLLL It goes to show that people lie in polls.
Off topic, kind of, but speaking of dying, I was watching Channel 6 this morning, and they said people who had COVID, and had a higher zinc level (63), did far better than COVID patients who had a low zinc level (43). I’ve been taking zinc supplements myself, and you can also get it in certain foods like shell fish, beef, many nuts, and more (if you want to look up more foods). Most of the patients with the higher level of zinc lived, according to this report.
Of course, like anything, too much zinc can cause side effects.
Now this is where Trump unfairly gets attacked by being accused for not understanding nuance....Trump doesn’t want to see young folks who grew up in this nation but who are considered illegal aliens to be sent back. He wanted a legislative fix from first the Republicans and then the Dems. He was stuck with this memoranda which isn’t even a full EO and he was goin to end it but the courts said he had to treat it like it was a full law that could be stopped if he ran thru a number of hoops like all federal rules have to be before they can be ended.(it wasn’t a true EO so the courts decided to treat it like it was a “rule” under immigration policy that needed a full vetting or ‘unvetting” in this case before it could be ended. I think they were wrong but congress was also no help by not setting up a law to guide the president.) It’s a catch 22.
No, November 3!
No, November 3!
So, did you get the apartment, since you couldnt guarantee that you would let them know if you died?
Thankfully, it was a renewal and when I showed it to the manager, she shrugged and said she wouldn’t hold me to this and we lined it out of the contract. The next time, the clause wasn’t there anymore. You figure some lawyer got it added to try to protect their client but it was just so absurd as to cause ridicule.
There's no Catch-22. Trump can at any time restart the process of rescinding DACA while complying with the Administrative Procedures Act. Congress is not needed. In fact he could have done so pre-emptively once the first lawsuit was filed and evaded the entire issue. For some reason he doesn't. I don't know why.
He doesn’t because he doesn’t want to send a bunch of Mexican young adults who grew up in the US and while illegal, never had ties to Mexico. He can’t give them citizenship so they are stuck in limbo until a law can be passed. The optics are horrible if he does send them back and Trump is really not that mean of a guy. It needs a legislative fix and Trump has many battles on his plate!
But he already attempted to rescind DACA. Are you suggesting he did so in bad faith, knowing it would fail in court?
No. The DACA had expired and it was just a memoranda of rules not a true EO. It really has no force of law. Trump was trying to adhere to the expiration date and trying to get congress to make it into law. Ryan’s congress and Pelosi’s congress would not do it.
it’s a mess!
Trump issued an order to rescind DACA. He apparently really meant to end it. Yet when he was sued over the procedure, and even after fighting that case all the way to the Supreme Court and losing, he never bothered to correct the procedural question and move forward with rescinding DACA.
No court has said he can't, they simply said he has to follow procedure. Saying he didn't want to rescind DACA makes no sense, since he issued an order to do just that.
He has said he wanted a legislative solution for the Dreamers...and hasn’t been able to get it.
Yes, I know. But that is a separate issue. He tried to rescind DACA once, but once the procedural issue arose he never tried to correct that, even after fighting for it all the way to the Supreme Court. It's something he can do any time. It's also the only leverage he has to get a legislative deal. So why doesn't he try to do it again in the way the court said he should? Doesn't that seem like a strange oversight?
