FIU Hispanic FL voter poll: Obama 51- Romney 44
* note that Florida has many Cuban Americans who tend to vote Republican more than in other states
Mitt Romney is closing the gap on President Barack Obama among likely Hispanic Florida voters, a majority of whom say they’re not better off than four years ago, according to a new Florida International University/Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald poll.
Obama is ahead of Romney 51-44 percent among Hispanics, a relatively narrow lead that could spell trouble for a Democratic campaign that’s counting on minority support as non-Hispanic white voters flock to the Republican ticket in droves.
In the rest of the country, however, it’s a different story for Obama when it comes to likely Hispanic voters.
The president wallops Romney 66-31 percent overall across the U.S., according to the poll’s national survey of 1,000 likely Hispanic voters. It was taken Oct. 10-11 along with the 720-voter poll in Florida.

I hung out at Versailles Restaurant partly for the excellent Cafe Cubano but partially to see the right wing Cubanos in action. Also all the candidates do a round there.
This guy was there and so hopped up on coffee he needed a straight jacket!
The younger people who've arrived recently or were born in the USA are definitely leaning or strong Democrat. Now Joe Garcia will surely win against Rep. David Garcia who might be indicted soon for his election shenanigans. Garcia has many young followers and he's moderate about Cuba. He'll be the first Cuban American Democrat from Florida ever in Congress.
