Let's see where it is in November. And I tend to throw a jaundiced eye at any Fox poll.
FOX polls are actually reasonably unbiased. The poll used in the OP's article however, is an outside firm using proprietary methods which are skimmed off of social media. So yeah, probably not to be taken seriously, especially given his 75 percent unfavorables among latinos.Let's see where it is in November. And I tend to throw a jaundiced eye at any Fox poll.
It is evident that Donald Trump has rewritten the rules of political campaigning, leaving the so- called experts, analysts, journalists and even the GOP itself puzzled by the power and effectiveness of his approach.

What's 'big data'?

I always wondered if Hispanic-Americans of non-Mexican descent cared about what he said about Mexico.
The Hispanic-Americans I grew up around and went to school (Florida) with were all from the Caribbean or South America (or their parents were). They made fun of Mexico and Mexicans without a second thought.
Not all that puzzling, Latinos/Hispanics love their strongmen.
It's like regular data, but really big.
I'm married in to an Ecuadorian family and the overwhelming majority of my in-laws whom I've spoken to support Trump as well as immigration reform.
I don't find it to be surprising at all.
It is also my opinion that many Latino/Hispanic immigrants are proud and "proper" people, firm in their Roman Catholic faith and all the values and morals associated with that, who are absolutely appalled by the many instances of civil unrest, tantamount to rioting and mass violence, that have been occurring across the country in the pro-Mexican name, and if there is an increase in Latino/Hispanic support for Trump occurring I would think that it is in large part out of an "anti-lawlessness" motivation rather than a strictly pro-Trump motivation.
That's what put my mother-in-in law, an 80-year-old Ecuadorian immigrant, in the Trump camp.
More of a "not on my watch" sort of thing than a "wow that Trump is swell".

I am a Puerto Rican in a family that is mostly Puerto Rican with touches of Ecuadorian and El Salvadorian. To a person, and there are a lot of us, we are voting for Trump. Even my 95 year old father who has never voted for a Republican in his life, is voting for Trump. And yes, there is a great deal of anger aimed at what the anti-Trump Mexicans are doing on national TV. Its embarrassing because many lump all Hispanics together in the same basket, and is swaying folks towards Trump.
In full disclosure, very few of us, including me, support Trump; he is the lessor evil.
I think that's what it is, all right.
It's a bogus article, anyway.
In 2003, Californian Latinos overwhelmingly voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor, over Latino Democrat Cruz Bustamonte. This happened in spite of the media trying to accuse Swartzeneggar of having familial ties to Nazis.
The media has done the same thing to Trump, hinting that his father had ties to the KKK.
I think white Democrats are frustrated by the fact that they've staked their party's future on Latinos, and Latinos aren't as predictable as the DNC would like.
You may be right. But I live in California, my wife is Hispanic. Most of the Hispanics I know won't vote for Trump.
I live in California as well, and I have yet to meet a Hispanic Trump supporter, yet I know they exist.
