Clinton Dismisses Entry Polls Showing Gap with Latino Voters as Inaccurate

‘We don’t believe that the so-called entry polls were particularly accurate’

TAPPER: "Obviously, you did well. You won. But, looking ahead, you still have 47 other states to go, plus the District of Columbia and some territories."
CLINTON: "That’s true."
TAPPER: "So, I do want to look at some areas — let’s call them areas for possible improvement. One of them is that Bernie Sanders did better with Latino voters, and you not as well with Latino voters, at least according to our entrance poll, as many people anticipated. This is a constituency you have worked very hard to cultivate. What do you think happened, and how can you fix it, how can you improve your standings with Latino voters?"
CLINTON: "You know, that’s just not what our analysis shows, number one. We don’t believe that the so-called entry polls were particularly accurate. If you look at the precincts, you look at where we dominated, there’s a lot of evidence we did very, very well with every group of voter. We did well and better than we thought in rural areas, which I was very happy to hear. We held our own up in Reno. So, it was a broad-based turnout. And we dominated, of course, in Clark County, where Las Vegas is. So, you know, we look at all of this. We obviously are guided by the information we have. We think that it shows that we always have to work hard for every single voter. And we intend to do that in every place. I’m in Texas right now. I’m in Houston, about to address a large crowd that’s gathered here late at night. We’re reaching out to everybody. And we want to do as well as we can with everyone."
