better link
anyway, lets go back to the article
in January of this year, Marist found that Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics had reached 50 percent. Then, in February, a Morning Consult poll showed Hispanic approval of the president at 42 percent. This was followed by a March poll from McLaughlin & Associates that found Hispanic approval for the president at 50 percent.
now notice
he's not talking about gain over one poll
that would be something you could compare across time like that
he's taking 3 poll results across 3 different polls
that show approval at or below 50%
with no comparison to where they were before
so he's not saying trump gained support with minorities, he's just saying this is the minority approval rating at 3 different points in time according to 3 different polls
You left out the detail of the article giving the months that the polls were taken in
I didn't actually
I included it
Oh then my mistake.
so there was a poll in January that shows 50%
a different poll in feb that shows 42%
But with that then you can see that the most recent poll shows 50%
then a different poll in march taht shows 50%
how does that equate to gaining support?
he lost 8% support in Feb and regained it in March?
it's the same in March as it was in Jan
tbh, whatever that thing is, is very confusing
looks like that website is rated "Selective or Incomplete Story/Unfair Persuasion" on the reliability axis
I can barely read anything on it even with my glasses
and "Hyper-Partisan Right" on the political bias axis
(you have to use the zoom)
ik ;-;
It is still to small
and everything is so crammed in
they overlap so much
yup... you've got to zoom in
there's a zoom button in the lower right
then you can scroll around
The article is admittedly confusing, because it's no secret that Hispanics viewed him less favorably in the beginning of his presidency than they do now, but the articles language does seem to conflate things now that I'm reading it further.
I don't believe that's accurate
I don't think polling supports that statement
Because other news sources have also commented on Trump's Hispanic support, including even the Washington Post of all journals
Though these numbers do not corroborate with the spectator's
