Trump uses Telemundo website poll to claim 'Hispanic population' support
Donald Trump pointed to a nonscientific website poll hosted by Spanish-language news service Telemundo – which anyone could click – to claim overwhelming "Hispanic population" support.
During an appearance on Fox & Friends on Fox News on Tuesday morning, the president said the “Hispanic population poll” put him at “77 per cent.”
A post-debate web poll hosted by Telemundo showed that 66 per cent of respondents believed that the president “won” the first debate between him and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden on 29 September.
Most polling shows the opposite – the former vice president polled at 62 per cent with Latinos, according to a September poll from Telemundo, NBC News and The Wall Street Journal.
According to October polling from the Pew Research Center, roughly two-thirds of Latino registered voters are “somewhat or very confident” in Mr Biden on five issues – including the coronavirus pandemic, national unity, foreign policy, criminal justice and enforcement, and the economy – with increasing confidence over the last several months from a similar poll in June.
