Trump Surrogate: Every Hispanic I Speak to Is ‘On the Trump Train 100%’

A Latina Donald Trump surrogate said on Fox Business Friday that Trump was doing great among her community, saying that every Hispanic and Latino she speaks to supports him.

Host Stu Varney asked conservative columnist A.J. Delgado among Trump’s low polling numbers. “How is he going to raise his score amongst Hispanics?” he asked.

But Delgado insisted that Trump was doing better among Hispanics than previous GOP candidates like Mitt Romney and John McCain. “If you check the L. A. Times poll, the most recent one has him at 36%… so he’s already doing incredibly well,” she argued.

“Even if the L.A. Times one might be high, I believe he’s currently somewhere in the low 30’s,” she said. “I know every Latino, Hispanic I speak to in my community is certainly on the Trump train 100%.”

The L.A. Times poll has been an outlier throughout the election, showing consistently higher support for Trump than other polls. Experts believe the discrepancy is likely because it is the only poll to weigh its results based on who respondents voted for in 2012, despite the fact that respondents often lie about or misremember past votes.
