The amount of Latino support for Trump on sites like IG is staggering. I think people will be in for a surprise.

The thing about statements like this is that we literally have a very good idea how Latinos voted in recent elections because of things like voter files and precinct data etc.  And they consistently vote way *more* for Democrats than most polls show not less.  These Latino Decision polls tend to be much closer to accurate than most other ones.

So unless you're saying this massive shift has all happened post-2018, whatever you're seeing on Instagram just isn't very representative of overall trends.

2016 Poll: +48% Clinton (67-19%)

2016 Exit Polls: +38% Clinton (66-28%)

From a Florida perspective, I cannot fathom a way that this poll is bad for Trump given the polling bias.  In 2016, Clinton did 7 points better among Hispanics in Florida than Biden is doing in this poll, and two 2016 polls with Spanish Interpreters overestimated Clintons support among Cubans.      

If there's a single thing that people on this forum need to understand that they don't, its that exit polls are *very* incorrect about lots of things.  National exit polls showed that Hillary won Latinos by 38 points, but people who have actually analyzed voter files + precinct data think she won them by more like 46.

Exit polls do lots of other things very badly too: they constantly overestimate the size of the youth vote, always show democrats doing several points better among whites than they actually do, etc.  You shouldn't take them as gospel!

Their Texas results are wonky.  The results by race don't add up to the topline at all unless the vote is 65-70% white, which is way too high.

Wikipedia says 64% of Cuban-Americans are in Florida. Beyond that I got nothing.  Are non-Florida Cuban Americans maybe less conservative than Florida Cuban-Americans for some reason?
