it actually doesn't say they increased
it implies it
unbiased and, when you're talking about polls, statistically sound
you can tell from the beginning something's off with this article:
"despite shrill denunciations of the president by the Democrats for his alleged racism"
that's not something that a real news organization would write
that's what a conservative blog would write
and they totally have their place, don't get me wrong
but what they're doing here is trying to cherry-pick polls
look at this part:
"this, of course, which is why they have worked so diligently to discredit polls that confirm the president’s gains among minority voters."
GG @Platinum Spark, you just advanced to level 13!
Then not many things can be considered legitimate news, including CNN, Fox, and MSNBC
sure
I disagree with you, but sure let's throw out all three of those
when it comes to polling, 538 is probably the gold standard
but AP, WaPo, WSJ, NYT
these are real news organizations
CBS, ABC
here:
you can take a look at how media bias affects different news organizations
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%
