Commentators said the message reflected concern over polls showing erosion with Hispanic, Black voters.

Overview

  • Posting Thursday, Trump asked when surveys would credit his accomplishments, questioning why current polls do not reflect what he calls national progress.
  • On Friday’s Daily Blast podcast, William Saletan said it might be the first time Trump has recognized “real numbers,” while host Greg Sargent called the post a strange tirade suggesting political trouble.
  • Exit polls cited by Saletan indicated double‑digit shifts away from Trump among Hispanic and Black voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared with last year.
  • Raw Story characterized last month’s results in those states as a setback for Trump and Republican candidates, pointing to minority voter movement as a key factor.
