Several days after the poll’s initial release and following repeated Twitter prodding on the subject by the President himself, the nation’s top two Spanish-language television networks finally got around to reporting on the big jump in job approval for Trump among Hispanics.

When the results from the NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey were first released on January 17, showing that 50% of Hispanics approve the job Donald Trump is doing as President, Univision and Telemundo fled from the news like the plague.

In the following days, after President Trump repeatedly tweeted about the 19-point increase, however, the two networks finally got around to reporting on the poll.

CLAUDIA UCEDA, CORRESPONDENT, UNIVISION: A Marist/ NPR/PBS poll conducted in the middle of the government shutdown suggests that 50 percent of Latinos surveyed approve the work of the President. An increase of 19 percent compared with the results of another survey conducted in December. 46 per cent of respondents disapprove of him.

In Univision's report on the subject, both Washington correspondent Claudia Uceda and senior news anchor Jorge Ramos employ several tactics to attempt to undercut the significance of the results, including the repeated use of the word “suggests” when the 50% number is by no means a suggestion, but rather the actual finding of the hard data. Ditto when Uceda goes on to diss Trump’s Latino popularity boomlet as “presumed increasing support.”

Revealing the height of hypocrisy in his reporting on the survey, Ramos opens the segment by saying the poll “concludes” (instead of “suggests”) that Trump’s popularity is down among other segments of the population such as Republicans (83% vs. 90% the previous month)

The Univision report further attempts to undercut the significance of Trump’s Hispanic boost by pointing out that the 50% level of support registered among Latinos has a 10% margin of error, but the 19% increase far exceeds the margin of error, which means Trump’s actual Hispanic support could be as high as 60% or as low as 40%, which would still be notably higher than the 39% approval rating registered among the U.S. population as a whole.

Telemundo, in contrast (relevant transcripts below), simply reported the poll straight up.
