Another 'narrative' falling apart: Trump surges 19 points in poll with...Latinos

PBS thought it had a good one: a poll showing the public opposed to the government shutdown and disapproving of President Trump. It was a poll like all of PBS's other polls, negative to Trump, and a clear attempt to influence the "narrative" repeated by most of the Beltway press and its talking heads. Dreary, dreary, it might have run and gone without mention.

...except that Mediaite went deep into the weeds of reading the actual poll line by line and found something eye-popping:

Shock Poll: Trump Gains 19 Points with Latino Voters During Border Wall Shutdown

That's the headline; here's the fill:

In the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Thursday, President Donald Trump may have suffered some among Republicans overall, but he saw a huge point gain in a different demographic breakdown, and an unexpected one by conventional wisdom....

I don’t believe this poll and the polls of surging black support. If this was true President Trump would be a lock but the midterms say otherwise. Look at the source.

President Trump wasn't on the ballot in 2018, but nice try.

I love how they take poll results and violate the outcome right in your face. For example, the ‘news’ that thirty percent of those polled believe deficits don’t matter makes headlines. Deeper down, if they acknowledge it at all, is the elided fact that seventy percent opposed deficits.

If the narrative isn’t already baked in with smuggled premises in the questions, then the results of the poll are cherry-picked. Failing that, they will ignore the poll altogather.

So few polls successfully predict election outcomes, you could better their predictions with a coin toss.

I think PBS is trying to feed us false information. Trump’s re-election is not going to be a gimme and he could very well lose even if EVERYTHING is better for the average ordinary American. Our electorate has been totally degraded. I support President Trump 110%.

I grew up in NYC in a neighborhood with a lot of Latinos, had a lot of Latino friends. The reason they don’t like illegals is because these illegals move into THEIR neighborhood! They don’t move into Pelosis. And these illegals can be anything, nobody knows, they aren’t checked out. And they end up with pedophiles, rapists, gang members, MS-13 gang members hanging out in their vesitbules and crime ends up going through the roof.

I lived in Woodside Queens near the fake ID capital of NYC Roosevelt ave, which is now completely overtaken by illegals and the rapes as a result have gone through the roof. I would call it now the rape capital of the east coast, if not the country. Woodside BTW is in the district of Marxist Alexandria No Cortex who I know for a fact won through voters fraud, who got these illegals to vote for her. It’s a prime example of why the Marxists want an open border at the expense of the US citizens life.

Look at this: The rapes go on forever but of course No Cortex doesn’t talk about that right? No no, she damn give a damn about that. Illegals come first!

Maybe some of the new Latinos for Trump are the parents of Los Angeles students — who, at present, are not getting an education because their teachers have gone on strike.

Seventy-five percent of the students in the Los Angeles school district are Latinos. Every time a new wave of illegal immigrants floods into Los Angeles classrooms, the ability of the existing Latino students to get a decent education suffers. They above all need a wall on our southern border. Viva ZaTrumpa!

Oops, can’t have that. We obviously need more invading caravans to fix this crisis.

My guess is that blacks and legal Latinos are now getting upset with Democrat voter fraud. We need to generate a list of demands for Pelosi from the American people. And they are not negotiable. Here is my contribution to the list.
Demand Number 1 - Complete elimination of the IRS.
Why in the world is my government penalizing me so much ? Are you not supposed to be helping me ? That is why you were created in the first place.
