Hispanics turning back to Democrats for 2008

SAN ANTONIO — Like no Republican before him, George W. Bush drew Hispanics to the GOP.
In the 2004 election, at least 40% of the voters in the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority group backed Bush, double the share of Hispanics who had supported Republican Bob Dole eight years earlier. But the inroads Bush made are vanishing.

The chief beneficiary for 2008 so far is Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.

A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll indicates that Hispanics, by nearly 3 to 1, say they're Democrats or lean that way. Of those, 59% support the New York senator over her presidential rivals — her strongest showing among any major demographic group and a huge potential asset for early contests in Nevada, Florida, California and other states with large Hispanic populations.

in 2004 than he did in 2000? We never left the Democrats as a group. :shrug:

I read that Hispanics are socially conservative
with regard to being anti-gay, anti-choice, and
pro-family.. but do believe in socialist policies
and programs that help people and give them
something of a safety net.

In my personal experience, their youth were
pro-war and pro-military almost to a person.

I expect much of that has changed due to
the inflammatory and scapegoating initiatives
of those touting immigration and illegal aliens
as such a problem.. along with the deaths of
so many of their friends and family members
in a war predicated on lies.
