... The latest YouGov/Yahoo poll, conducted between June 26 and 30 among 1,597 adults, shows that Trump's net approval rating among Hispanic voters stands at -30 points, with 32 percent approving and 62 percent disapproving ...

1. I am puzzled, my dear struggle4progress . . .

How can a -30 points be seen as approval?

[struggle4progress]

3. You don't find "Rah! Rah! They're only thirty points underwater!" persuasive?

I think Newsweek wants to say "They were thirty-eight points underwater so a bright new sun-shiney day is dawning for them"

But maybe it's just tough work spinning cow patties

[Igel]

9. Close.

From article,

That is up from a net approval of -37 points in May, when 26 percent approved and 63 percent disapproved.

18. Cow-patties and water Magick Mushrooms

Or so, I’ve heard 🍄🍄‍🟫

5. I baffled too, Peggy. Imagine what they would say about a democrat at -30 underwater.

Chuck Todd and Jake tapper would be having hysterical conniption fits.

[Jack Valentino]

20. Must have been at minus 31 the week before....

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. So Newsweek's spin is a negative 30 margin is a boost? Nt

7. "That is up from a net approval of -37 points in May, when 26 percent approved and 63 percent disapproved."

That was the next sentence in the article.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. So a 7 point "boost"

When every other poll shows his approval declining amongst Latinos, especially on immigration.

I say this poll is an outlier.

[sl8]

12. Could be - have you seen others in the last week or so?

Last month's Newsweek article was headlined "Donald Trump Is Losing Support With Hispanics", based also on the polls.

In any case, this article's headline is accurate, based on the difference between the two Yougov polls.That would have been obvious if the the 3rd sentence of the article was kept.

[Mountainguy]

22. No, it's not

The sample size of Hispanics in the poll is like 200. That's going to have like a +/-7 MoE for the subgroup. So with that the difference in last month and this month isn't big enough to actually say there was any change.

[Captain Zero]

14. Maybe they found who voted him down

in the previous poll, and deported them before this poll.

[standingtall]

4. Not a boost

but 32% approval after all this is still way to high.

[dem4decades]

6. Hopefully the 32 % approving get fucked over by ICE soon.

[Cha]

10. WHY? ''Cause ICE is Hauling

So many Off the Streets and Everywhere?

[Celerity]

11. polls (all respondents)

[dsc]

13. This may be one of the worst articles about a poll I have seen in quite some time

No mention of MOE. Without the sample size of Hispanics (also not provided shocker) no one can figure it out either. But I would bet that this 7 point gain is actually not far outside of and likely within the MOE for Hispanic voters.

[struggle4progress]

21. +

15. Live and learn, dudes.

Don't bitch when it becomes your turn. And it will be your turn if your skin is brown.

[B.See]

16. exactly. like what TsickF said when

Democratic Senator Alex Padilla was arrested at a puppy killer Noem event:

"He LOOKED like an 'illegal''."

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Personally, I think Latinos are so paranoid that anyone who says anything positive about Trump

is just in survival mode.

[Bluesaph]

24. Not the self loathing ones like my uncle.

He and his thick accented wife defend TSF with every breath. They were uninvited to my 4th of July party this year where my entire immigrant family celebrated we are still together and haven’t been deported.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. True. MAGA style latinos.

Stay safe. And good choice on uninviting them.

[Melon]

19. Most Hispanics that work for us in South Texas are republican.

They are very religious. I don’t talk 5o them about it anymore, but it was always very consistent. They don’t like Mexicans that enter illegally versus following the process that they did. Our company has resources to help employees with the paperwork. That being said, some have been very concerned for family members that never got green cards.

[Bluesaph]

25. Yeah and if the company fires them

They are now illegal. Have them by the balls

[videohead5]

23. Polling errors

It's just polling errors. when you factor in the polling error from their last poll and this recent one, they are both probably 3.5% off one way or the other.

[enid602]

26. Sarcasm

Well, there are fewer Hispanics on the streets these days, so of course there are fewer to respond to the poll negatively. Brilliant strategy on Trump’s part. Imagine Trump’s favorability will similarly increase among other groups soon.

[Takket]

28. -30 is pretty bad but how that number isn't -100 is beyond comprehension

When he has made it perfectly clear the only place he thinks Hispanic person belongs is in an alligator’s belly.
