misleading: Brent says that the latest figures published in the "Washington Post" can be "deceiving", a term which means "misleading" or "potentially inaccurate". Brent is expressing that the statistics aren't the best indication of public opinion, and he is suggesting that they might not be representative of reality. The term "deceiving", as well as the verb "to deceive" is used both to describe something (like information) which may represent something different than reality (as it is used here), or to indicate a willful attempt to "mislead" (or even trick or lie to) someone. For example: He told me that he was fluent in seven languages, but now I realize that he deceived me: he can barely speak English.
disappointing: The term "deceiving" (from the verb "to deceive") is totally unrelated to personal feelings of "disappointment" or unmet expectations.
confusing: To say that the numbers are confusing would be to say that they are difficult to understand. Brent is not saying this, however. Brent is expressing that these figures are potentially inaccurate, or might not reflect reality.
irrelevant: Brent is not saying that these numbers are "irrelevant" or of no importance. Brent is expressing that these figures are potentially inaccurate, or might not reflect reality.
