In a segment entitled “3 meals”, CBS reporter Adriana Diaz traveled to multiple restaurants in three counties in the battleground state of Nevada and “found only one Kamala supporter.” “People are really excited about Trump,” Diaz said.
The unofficial poll was conducted in the two largest counties of Clark and Washoe, and the republican stronghold of Nye County. The demographics of her polling included women, men, caucasian, Black, latino, and asian.
Speaking to a group of women over breakfast in Reno, the group expressed concerns over the border and illegal immigration.
“I’m extremely concerned about the border,” said one, while another woman who pushed back on claims the illegal aliens were seeking “asylum” argued, “Baloney. They’re coming here for the freebies.” “Illegals, they gotta go,” she told Diaz.
“There are people who have come here legally. Why do they get pushed aside to allow people who have not even worked one day in our country, have not paid into the system…” another added.
In Las Vegas, a young hispanic owner of a taco truck complained about the price of food, noting that he has had to double his prices since President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris assumed office. He believed that former president Donald Trump would be better for his business and for the economy.
In Pahrump, a husband and a wife and three female business owners will all vote for Trump.
When asked if the husband still has hope for the country, he replied, “I’ve never owned a gun in my life and I own four of them now,” while his wife explained, “I want someone who’s strong, who demands respect, and who gets the respect and who can deal with foreign leaders. I think Trump’s the guy.”
The business owners faulted Bidenomics for the state of the economy, noting the Biden-Harris administration continued to throw good money after bad, “It’s the same as if you have an old house, you know. Oh, let’s just keep fixing it and fixing it. Sometimes the solution is you gotta tear it down and rebuild.”
Recently, the Joint Economic Committee reported that Nevada’s inflation rate rose to a whopping 21.6 percent. Relative to January 2021 prices, Nevadans are paying an additional $1,168 per month, or $27,782 per year, for basic household expenses since President Biden assumed office.
According to the most recent RealClearPolitics polling average, Harris a mere 0.5 percent advantage over Trump at 47.3-46.8 percent, indicating the battle for the presidency will come down to the margins. A republican president hasn’t won Nevada since 2004. At a June rally in Las Vegas, Trump exclaimed, “If we win Nevada, we win the whole thing,”
Editor’s note: Although Diaz claims she found only one Harris supporter, the video shows potentially three supporters in total.
