Once again, a @nytimes poll is undercounting Texas Latinos in a poll and making sweeping generalizations. Here is the link that boldly claims that Latinos in Texas are rushing to Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/26/upshot/texas-polls-biden-trump.html
Ok, stick with me here. The poll had a total of 802 respondents across ALL OF TEXAS.
The Latino subgroup in that poll is 26%.

This is what the crosstabs say:
That would mean that this poll asked just 209 Texas Latinos.
209 Latinos.
And wait, it gets even more interesting....

And wait, it gets even more interesting....
Texas' Latino population is close to 40%.
And, this poll asked only 14% of 18-29 yrs old Texas and ANYONE who knows anything about Latino voters in Texas is that it is very NEW and YOUNG.
So, @UpshotNYT makes yet another bold claim on a poll that included 209 Texas Latinos and

I would guess that the number of young Latinos is not even 50 voters in this poll.
This, at a time when all I am getting out of Texas is news that young Latinos are voting early.

Am not saying that Trump won't do well with Texas Latinos, but the one thing I still think this latest poll ignores is the recent work to get young Texas Latinos to vote.
Veremos but once again @UpshotNYT's Latino ignorance is clear.

What is doesn't take into account, besides such a small sample size, is what has happened in Texas with Latino voters. Another miss.
