Never seen anything like this before, no one knows what is real. 41 point gap between polls and all the others in between.

How many of these Latinos can even speak Latin?

Hispanic refers to the language one speaks. Latino is term for where one lives...


There you go.

One problem with polling Hispanics, is they are not a monolithic voting block.

Hispanics in California vote very different than Cubans in Florida.

Hispanics in Texas (especially those who's families have lived here for generations and even centuries) vote differently than Hispanics in New Mexico.

Hispanics who see themselves are "Mexican" or "Honduran" rather than Americans will vote Democrats. Hispanics that see themselves as Americans (simply of Hispanics descent) will tend to vote Republican.

So unless the pollster was careful to make sure they polled Hispanics in a very wide area, they can get some rather out there results.

The truth is, the results are somewhere in between.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

But, and maybe it's the liberal in Trump, but he did pose with a taco salad when he ran the first time. I don't recall him with any chicken though.

Levity cause Monday and politics is bad enough as it is.

These days, polls submitted for public consumption are more propaganda than honest polls, and should be summarily disregarded. The last several cycles made that abundantly clear.

You left off the Puerto Ricans
We have almost none of that variety here
There are places that Puerto Ricans are one of the largest Latino voting blocks

That's still my favorite Trump tweet of all time hands down. I laughed so hard at that back in 2016. To this day, I can't decide if it's offensive, patronizing, or mostly fine, but I know for sure it's hilarious.

Lots of Talerico and Hinojosa bull**** signs out here in far west Texas. Ft Davis, Alpine, and Marathon. Had dinner at the Gage Hotel last night. So that's probably 300-400 votes for the socialists from those towns.

It's almost like some of these pollsters are locked in the same room after a Taco Bell lunch and complimenting each other's flatulence.

Yes but the ones on the island of Puerto Rico do not vote in federal elections
The ones that live in one of the 50 states do

Reminds me of going on a dive trip to Belize with a Houston Dive Shop. We went out to a local restaurant and a couple of the folks were asking the waiter why they didn't have any Mexican food on the menu?

Super, off the charts incorrect here. Rasmussen used to be slightly more credible. Activote is trash.

But believe the numbers that make you feel better.

This is correct. But their support changes over time, as well as these state/regional differences. They dramatically shifted GOP from 2016 to 2024 and are now shifting again.

Not so sure. Just like African Americans, lots of Hispanics will not vote for hoto and approve of the border being closed.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that polls are now meaningless. They are nothing but manipulation from one side or the other (but about 90-10 dem) and are done for no other reason than psychological manipulation.
