Addressing an adoring crowd in Texas this week, Donald Trump boasted about his perceptions of the latest polling data. “I don’t know if you’ve seen what’s happening,” the Republican said, “but over the last three weeks, the polls with African American folks and Spanish-speaking folks, the Hispanics, Latinos, have gone way up. Way up. They’ve gone way up.”

And while that may sound like great news for the GOP candidate’s supporters, there’s a small problem with Trump’s claim: there’s literally no evidence of it being true. In fact, actual data points in the opposite direction, and it seems Trump just made up these poll results out of whole cloth.
