Univision tracking poll of Latinos in Nevada by Media Predict is a fake and photoshopped

If you go to the supposed tracking/polling firm website www.mediapredict.com, you will realize right away that the company is a gaming platform. It has users predict future events to earn points.

Furthermore, the Univision website doesn't have a single information on this tracking poll. If you google "Univision tracking poll of Latinos in Nevada" in the top three results you get the original DU thread and a reddit thread linking the tweet from the reporter.

So, please take this supposed tracking poll of Latinos in Nevada with a grain of salt.

Clearly they are getting worried about the next several states that aren't 95% white.

You have to give your email to get it.

Now, that said, the one it currently downloads for you is January 20th. So I have no idea if the early February results have actually been published.

And, as I mentioned above, it means nothing. It is Univision Advertising Sales partnering with Media Predict. They're using info for targeting advertising but figured they might as well release them to the public.

But no, it is not a poll. It also doesn't pretend to be a poll. People here were just happy to call it one.
