...from Fox News, so adjust numbers accordingly:
GOP Hopefuls Losing Ground to Obama Among Latinos, Poll Says
New York Despite growing disappointment in his handling of immigration issues, Latino voters favor President Barack Obama by six-to-one over any of the Republican presidential hopefuls, showed a Fox News Latino poll conducted under the direction of Latin Insights and released Monday.
The national poll of likely Latino voters indicated that 73 percent of them approved of Obamas performance in office, with over half those questioned looking favorably upon his handling of the healthcare debate and the economy, at 66 percent and 58 percent respectively.
Released on the eve of the Super Tuesday primaries in the race for the GOP nomination, the Fox News Latino poll shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 35 percent of Latino voter support, to Texas Rep. Ron Paul's 13 percent, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's 12 percent, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's 9 percent.
But the poll shows that the overwhelming choice among likely Latino voters is President Obama. In head-to-head match-ups none of the GOP candidates would garner more than 14 percent of the Latino vote come November, the poll said.

Don't believe it Mitt! Latinos want to you to stand tough on Immigration Policy. Especially when you're campaigning in Arizona and Nevada...

(24,347 posts)1. If this keeps up we could win Arizona and maybe make Texas competitive.
I'd love to see Mittens have to put on a ten-gallon hat and spurs and act like a good ol' boy because Obama is nipping at his heels.

It will be the old white vote vs. everybody else

I expect Marco Rubio to be the VP nominee.
