New Poll: Obama Still Running Strong Among Latino Voters
New Poll: Obama Still Running Strong Among Latino Voters
In a promising sign for Democrats, a new poll conducted by Latino Decisions for Univision News and ABC News shows President Barack Obama remains the preferred candidate among Hispanic voters over his likely general election opponents.
The survey of Latino registered voters shows Obama besting Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich both nationwide and in Florida. In a hypothetical matchup against Romney, the president claims the support of 67 percent of respondents nationally and 50 percent in Florida.
Obama fares even better among Latinos when matched up against Gingrich, with the president besting the former House speaker 70 percent to 22 percent nationwide and 52 percent to 38 percent in Florida. Those numbers indicate that Gingrich has some work to do if he is going to eclipse 50 percent of the Latino vote in the general election, a position he outlined on Univision TV today.
The former Massachusetts governor has said he would veto the DREAM Act — legislation designed to provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.

isn't getting any traction?
Their idea is to make them "illegals" as miserable as possible BUT keep them "illegal". Miserable and "illegal" - talk about the exploitation possibilities with that combination! 
After all the bigoted rhetoric and oppressive legislation from the Right, immigrants--both legal and "illegal"--have a pretty good idea of where the hate and bigotry are coming from.
Props to the GOP for laying it on the line (with a hat-tip to the racist, neo-nazi, nativist organizations supporting them).
