Subscribe to RSSLess than six months before November’s presidential election, President Obama enjoys a sizable lead over Mitt Romney among Latino voters, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll of Latino respondents.
The challenge for the Obama campaign, however, will be turning out these voters, who aren’t as interested in the election as all other Americans are.
Larry Downing / Reuters
President Barack Obama speaks at a news conference after the 2012 NATO Summit May 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
In this survey, Obama holds a 34-point lead over Romney among registered Latino voters, 61 to 27 percent. In 2008, according to the exit polls, Obama defeated McCain among this key voting bloc, 67 to 31 percent.
In addition, Obama’s approval rating among all Latino adults stands at 61 percent (compared with 48 percent of all Americans in the new NBC/WSJ poll), and approval of his handling of the economy is at 54 percent (versus 43 percent overall).
Meanwhile, Romney is struggling with Latinos, the poll shows. Just 26 percent view him positively, while 35 percent see him in a negative light. By comparison, Obama’s positive/negative score among Latinos is 58/23 percent.
(Click here for a PDF of this NBC/WSJ/Telemundo poll.)
What’s more, this demographic group is more optimistic about the economy and the nation’s direction than the general population. Forty percent of Latinos believe the country is headed in the right direction (versus 33 percent of all Americans in the NBC/WSJ poll), and 46 percent of them say what they’ve read and heard recently makes them feel more optimistic about the economy (versus 42 percent).
But here’s a troubling sign for the Obama campaign: Latinos aren’t as excited about the upcoming election. A combined 68 percent of Latino voters say they are highly interested in the upcoming election (registering an “8”,”9”, or “10” on a 10-point scale). That’s compared with 81 percent of all voters who express high interest.
This NBC/WSJ/Telemundo survey -- an oversample from the just-released NBC/WSJ poll -- was conducted May 16-21 of 300 adults who identified themselves as coming from a Latino or Spanish-speaking background. That sample includes 119 interviews that were conducted in Spanish.
The overall margin of error for this survey is plus-minus 5.7 percentage points. The margin of error for the 188 registered Latino voters survey is plus-minus 7.2 percentage points.

Illegals and Dead People can vote.
And for the legal votes one thing sticks out like s soar thumb. Telemundo was involved with this poll. Anybody who objectively watches it know that telemundo takes the stance against "america" and that its country is now the "new" mexico in its nice undertones.
There are plenty of legal Hispanics that can vote, and that's who responded to the polls.
Telemundo takes a stance that is PRO America, not anti. Talk about racism.
Good example, of how Republicans have chased away the Hispanic vote.
Eric, I watch Telemundo and am and independent. Actually its really a funny and entertaining channel but calling it how I see it. Pro america is a bit gratuitousness.
If you are an independent then I'm Hans Christian Anderson...................
GimDan, what the hec are you talking about? Telemundo is an American company. Has its roots in Puerto Rico (American), and was since bought out by a US broadcasting station. How in the world is it anti American??? You just want to spout nonsense.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo
Eric, what ever you say! Let me know when your next fairy tale is released.... ;)
GimDan, don't ignore my post.
TFNJ - MSNBC is also an American company and look at the pro-Mexico garbage they publish. A company's location or ownership does not determine it's content.
pjam09, whenever you interject yourself into a conversation, you tend to make a fool of yourself. He didn't say any station was pro anything, he said Telemundo was ANTI American. Big difference. I have posted proof that he is spouting nonsense.
TFNJ, sorry it was a stupid post as anybody who watches telemundo knows its HQ in the USA.. next. (-.-)
There is a myth that democrats engage in voter fraud. Factually, republican engage in more voter fraud than democrats. Here is my source:
http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100774960
How do you know who responded to the polls?
There is no big surprise with this headline. Mr. Obama publicly displays his content with the lawbreakers in this country yes illegal criminals of Latino descent in this country illegally. If I was Latino I am sure I'd be ecstatic that the President of the United States continually battles with law-abiding citizens and state governments, protecting illegal criminals in this country all the while stomping on the rights of legitimate citizens. Why wouldn't a person of Latino descent think that this president and his party is giving them preferential treatment he certainly has. Never mind the economic impact to the states that are suffering from the illegals being here. As far as the Wet Dream Act is just one of the many slaps in the face of legitimate hard-working taxpaying citizens of this country.
Don't waste your time with GimDan TFNJ...a nut job will always be a nut job. Sometimes they come coated with chocolate or caramel, but at the end of the day, its still A NUT JOB.
or they get carried off by squirrels...
Depends on what your views are... who the nutjobs are... wonderful thing about being human.
Last year Obama tried to stop the execution of Humberto Leal in Texas. This is an illegal who raped, murdered and tortured 16 year old Adria Sauceda. Whenever the left has to choose sides, they usually pick the wrong one. Dead illegal sicko or justice for a murdered girl's family?
I dont understand what is wrong with being Pro-Mexico?? and as far as Telemundo being anti-America.. dont you think that network has a resposibility to broadcast news that are of particular intrest to Hispanics?? Like news of Arizona or other states following their footsteps? or how about all the fear mongering the republicans engage in that tells their listeners that all Mexicans (even those who are citizens of this country or are from a different country but are still "Mexican") are criminals who use up all resources and want to harm you and your families as well as take the jobs you didnt want in the first place.
Also, what are these free stuff or handouts Obama has promissed? any sources on that?
There is something wrong with it, when people who might not even be citizens, protest the country waving Mexican flags, and meanwhile get an American suspended from school for having an American flag on their t-shirt. I believe the case had hispanics protesting in favor of the school official who banned the kid, waving the American flag, in front of city hall. I can say, I know of someone who was a LEGAL immigrant from Seychelles who was rather offended by this one. And his own view, as an immigrant was, "if that's the way some feel, don't bother comming here". Along with "but then I didn't just get to hop a border, I had to put in the effort to come here legally".
Legal immigrants however aren't always asked their take, such as someone who immigrated here from the USSR in the 1980s; who's feeling was "if people from Mexico think they had it hard comming into the US, they should have seen what it was like comming from Russia, during the cold war. After they experienced Soviet Russia, and the journey taken to get here, then lets talk". :o
Funny how that's only a problem on Fox "news".. Seriously, how many times has this supposed problem swayed an election in U.S. history? Never..?
Latinas have sexy curves in all the right places. !Ay, mami, que caliente! Save some love for us Gavachos.

So you were playing on the fact that GOP supporters believe everything they read, and would believe your claim then repeat what they "heard"?
Legal or illegal?
Free tamales. That's how they do it south of the border.
Not this Latino. My parents immigrated legally, I was born here I do not need amnesty.
I need a lower taxes and a future for my children something Obama is incapable of delivering.
We need a President who knows America is the Greatest nation on Earth and that it needs to remain so not that it needs to be lowered to the level of other nations why else did my parents struggle to come here.
================================================================
Here are the words of TED KENNEDY talking about illegals in the Senate on June 28, 2007 for the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act
People in my State are concerned and affected by it, and they are in other parts of the country as well. We have 900,000 nonnative-born individuals in my State of Massachusetts. Of those 900,000, 200,000 are undocumented. We have more than 3,000--in the city of Boston--more than 3,000 small businesses directly responsible for 34,000 jobs, more than half a billion dollars in pay and sales taxes in my State by those who are born in other countries. They represent probably less than 10 percent of the State's population, and 17 percent of the job market. The workers in our State, 17 percent are nonnative born, a demonstration that those individuals who have come here to the United States want to work. They want to work. They also are men and women of faith.
They are men and women who care about their families, by the fact that more than $48 billion is returned every single year to the countries in Central and South America.
=================================================================
On what planet is it a good thing to remove 48 BILLION DOLLARS from the United States?????
Ted Kennedy. A guy who never knew one minute of poverty his entire life was willing to sellout the American poor to look good to Latinos
If you Republitards want to ad hom Hispanics go right ahead but you do at your own peril. 48 Million legal US citizens are a large voting block, being a stupid bigoted party means you lose.
*cough* BS
You are FOS.
Too bad that Latin Americans are only 8% of the world's population. As GOD sees it, 8% of these guys have to leave the US for FAIR IMMIGRATION to take place.
Jeff,
Wait a minute! Your first paragraph says 48.4 million million? That's like up in the gazillions. Then your second paragraph qualifies this number, what I believe you mean to be 48 million, as legal US citizens. Not sure what that means. Kinda redundant. By definition you are legal if you're a US citizen. Your first paragraph didn't mention legal status. I think you're so full of sh1t your eyes are brown. Comments like yours are a perfect example of why there should be school vouchers. Let parents send their children to schools that teach critical thinking. Kinds these days.
No news here. They live by and for government hand-outs. And obama is one of the best at giving away money that is not his. Playing the crowds just like the planted homeboy in Arizona that shouted some latino endearment while the obama teleprompter flashed some sort of reply meant to show he stood in solidarity with them. The guy is as transparent as clear glass. If hispanics are so gullible as to buy this sort of staged antics then there is no hope for them. Once he gets their vote he will leave them used and abused like some saturday nite ten dollar hooker.
Who is "they"? There are a lot of hard working Hispanics in America who feel no support from the Republican party as a result of statements like yours.
Who has Obama handed money out to? He did a tax cut for the middle class.....how EVIL (sarcasm).
Eric - "they" is Democrats, yourself included.
Again pjam, interjecting with the same result. "They" in this case, is the topis at hand. Hispanics. THAT is who he meant.
"They" is thinly veiled racism.
Eric - what about the $4 billion (and growing) per year that illegal immigrants are getting for bogus IRS child claims? You are just a lib that wants the Hispanic vote to go for Democrat candidates.
Oh, bull@!$%#. I'm not a dem, but will definitely be voting dem, not because I take 'handouts', but because I know which party will do their best for the country. I know republican policies are destructive for the country and that they are the party of hate and divide (and conquer) and their highest priority is to protect the elite no matter how they damage the country as a whole. Oddly enough, it is the republicans I know that get more 'government handouts' and are just too stupid to know how they are being manipulated.
You do realize that the majority of people on welfare live in the red states. My guess is they aren't fans of Obama either.
What about the billions paid into social security that they will never receive?
Last year Obama tried to stop the execution of Humberto Leal in Texas. This is an illegal who raped, murdered and tortured 16 year old Adria Sauceda. Whenever the left has to choose sides, they usually pick the wrong one. Dead illegal sicko or justice for a murdered girl's family?
What about the billions paid into social security that they will never receive?
----------------------------------------
What about all those AMERICANS who are dealing with having their identities stolen and used by illegals? People like you never think about that, do you? It's pathetic we have to have paperwork sent every few years from the Social Security Department to protect us from our identities being stolen and abuse, even our kids. How about when you have to fight the SSD when they say they've been sending your checks down to Mexico for years? Yes, that happened. Have you tried getting a birth certificate lately? How about just a plain old ID card?
But here in California, you can get welfare and not have to give any sort of proof your here legally. No fingerprint, no id, no nothing. Trust me, they TAKE more than they ever give....abcnews.go.com, www.factcheck.org/2009/04/cost-of-illegal-immigrants, www.cis.org/IllegalsAndHealthCareHR3200, www.ask.com/.../how-much-does-it-cost-taxpayers-to-support-the-20, www.dailypress.net/.../Illegal-aliens-are-a-burden-on-taxpayers.html
Want some illegals, tell me where you live, I'll gladly send some to live with you. You pay for them and when your id is stolen, don't come whining to me about it...
Import hot Mexican women. Deport macho-inbred Mexican men. Ay!
Don't cry, now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqsM-rhF8Ns
You have no knowledge nor documentation of that. I'm more likely to have paid more and receive less. And it doesn't impact the fact of the fraudulent claims, though you would never want to actually address the question posed to you. Just like Hussein.
You mean the billions that drug cartels pay the IRS? The billions that Latino street gangs pay? The amount of gang members in the US create the 15th largest army in the world.
Believe it or not, a lot of Americans will never see their retirements so that money is still supporting Social security. It is the politicians that have STOLEN social security funds that they were never supposed to touch.
Not this Latino. My parents immigrated legally, I was born here I do not need amnesty.
I need a lower taxes and a future for my children something Obama is incapable of delivering.
We need a President who knows America is the Greatest nation on Earth and that it needs to remain so not that it needs to be lowered to the level of other nations why else did my parents struggle to come here.
AMERICANS: There are only two types of people in the United States today.
Hispanics, Latinos, Mexicans, Illegals, etc............... or Americans.
The Republicans simply voted against the "Dream Act" 100%! You can't blame that on the Democrats, Dems were ready to vote but as usual the Republicans wouldn't even let the bill go to the floor. Come on Republicans prove how much you wan tthe Hispanic Vote put the "Dream Act Up For a Vote" less see how you vote. Sending Rubio to the community apoligizing and pretending to be crafting a Lesser Dream Act that won't provide Citizenship, which he hasn't even drafted is just too funny.
NoLimitSoldier50, i agree with you totally and I would further like a brake down from MSNBS on what is the classification for Latinos? Is it Mexicans,Venezuelans, Brazilians, Cubans etc. Being half Spanish myself I will tell you that the Majority of Cubans in New Jersey and Florida will go for Mitt.
Some Cubans have told me that President Obama sounds off on the same talks they heard form Castro. "Took from the rich and give it to the poor (never happen, at all), Health care for all, (yeah, bring your own sheets and food to bribe the Doctors). Free college eduction for all, (no jobs in Cuba for those subjects).
Their is good health for those in the Government and vacationers, however vacationers have to pay upfront.
Why didn't they pass it when they had control of the House and the Senate? Haven't heard anyone answer that question. Dems just ignore that fact.
Concerned Citizen,
Cubans will be cubans, you know. Just ask any of the other latino groups.
Sandie, the Dems could have passed a Dream Act on their own during the first 2 years but did nothing for the Hispanics. At the time Hispanic leaders were pushing for Obama to do something but he didn't. Romney needs to remind them of that when the debates start. Bottom line though is that we do not need another 15-20 million people collecting welfare and every other social program available to freeloaders.
Fiscal its known as the cloture rule. The Dream Act passed the House but could not get the 60 votes out of 100 needed in the Senate. It did get a majority in the Senate. There was a total of seven months when the Democrats (in theory, on a day when both Senator Kennedy and Senator Byrd could make it to the Senate to vote) had 60 votes in the Senate.
Democrats never had a super majority in the Senate. It included a couple of independents. In short, Republicans have filibustered more than at anytime in history. So blame the Republicans on that.
It's a well known fact that older Cuban voters vote Republican, however, the younger Cuban voters vote Democratic.
What a sheep :)
Sandie - "The Republicans simply voted against the "Dream Act" 100%!"
Because that's what AMERICANS wanted... you know the people who vote, pay taxes, and who they are elected to serve. That is why 2012 is going to be another massive Republican victory just like 2010 was.
no pj... that's not what Ameircans wanted.. Only a small %..
I didn't want it...
American's Do Want the DREAM Act:
"Last December, another Fox News poll found that 66% of all registered voters supported allowing undocumented immigrants to remain in the country and eventually qualify for citizenship as long as they learned English, paid back taxes and passed background checks."
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-14/news/31183248_1_latino-voters-undocumented-immigrants-immigration-crisis
No....DON'T put the Dream Act to a vote.
Since when did Americans start rewarding criminal behaviour?
Why are you helping to support foreigners when Americans are having such a hard time...traitors.
The Dream Act was a piece of crap legislation. That's why it got shot down. My wife is Mexican, and even she shot it down as trash legislation. Read it. It does absolutely nothing to help millions of illegals here who have been working for 20-30 years illegally.
When you submit trash legislation, that's where it gets sent to.....the garbage.
Not this Latino. My parents immigrated legally, I was born here I do not need amnesty.
I need a lower taxes and a future for my children something Obama is incapable of delivering.
We need a President who knows America is the Greatest nation on Earth and that it needs to remain so not that it needs to be lowered to the level of other nations why else did my parents struggle to come here.
The Obama/Dem Immigration policy is actually less generous than the Reagan Policy - at least under the Obama policy, illegals have to work for their path to citizenship...Reagan simply handed it out for free under his amnesty program.
Chopping off one of your hands is less worse than chopping off both too, but both are tragedies that cannot be undone.
......and then there is Lorena Bobbit.
Not this Latino. My parents immigrated legally, I was born here I do not need amnesty.
I need a lower taxes and a future for my children something Obama is incapable of delivering.

Go figure.
As in Michigan, Obama should "walk" snow cone machines into Mexico. Drug gangsters then can be identified as the ones with big grins.
Of course he does. Romney wants them to self deport.
As do the vast majority of Americans.
President Obama does not believe in “self deport(ation)”!!! During his Presidency he has deported more unauthorized immigrants than any other President. No wonder he has the Latino vote locked up.
So what was the breakdown of Republicans vs Democrats in this poll?
Was it 44 %Dem, 36 % GOP like your previous skewed poll?
Did you give your guy Obama an 8 percentage point advantage here also?
It sounds like the Republican folks are having a bad day.
Four more years!
Obama - Biden 2012
Because Obama is getting publicity for being supported by a group who has far more allegiance to Mexico than the U.S.???
The only thing better would be polls showing that the Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Mexicans also endorse Obama.
Not this Latino. My parents immigrated legally, I was born here I do not need amnesty.

haha and I just saw a Unicorn in my backyard, MSNBC went from news cast to Obama Cheer leading squad to Comedy Central part 2 for politics. I am Mexican American and Voted for Obama in 08, believe me a lot of my friends and family members won't be voting for Obama again. FYI I removed my Obama 08 Bumper sticker back in 2010
MSNBC Just funny
not according to my latino poll..... I travel 10 western states for business. I get a chance to talk with all ethnics and everyone is with you Jorge!
Jorge, good for you, all he did was LIE to Hispanics back in 2008 and hopefully they didn't forget that.
'he lied to the Latinos, the blacks, the Asian the Caucasian American people overall, I just can believe that there are still obamabots out there.
Hey Jorge, I am also Mexican-American. A couple if years ago I returned to College to finish out a business degree, I am older 50's. I noticed that more mexican farm workers are encouraging thier kids to go to school. I have even had the opportunity to talk politics with quite a few and I definitely see a change in how the younger latino community is starting to take more interest in politics and I usually tell them to do the research and not just vote Democrat because your parents say they are the party that supports "Minorities." I am a Republican and yes I know they have their faults, but change only comes if you get involved and I believe that this party has the most potential for change. We cannot let a bunch of idiots like those in Arizona set or be the example of what the rest of the party is trying to accomplish.
If your Mexican American then I'm the Dali Lama. lol
P.S. - Unless your rich and just don't want to pay your share of taxes.
justice for all first off I was Born in Ensenada Baja Mex, I came to San Diego 16 years ago I went thru the whole process to become a U.S. Citizen and if you want to talk about "fare share paying taxes" then tell me this how come 50 percent of this country don't pay any taxes at all, you guys wine to much Instead of crying, work hard and do something decent, look I just bought my first house on January and I am proud of it, I work monday thru friday and I sell games at the swapmeet every saturday, and if I become rich one day, will that make me evil? I think not.
I like the way you think q2trixie
"Justice for all" Are you talking to me? I'm not Mexican? Really, what do think that Mexican-Americans can't form a coherent sentence or that we have no grasp of the political system and it's corrupt nature and double standards? Rich? No I'm not rich, but neither am I a welfare recipient. Like most Mexicans my father stressed the importance of hard work and being self-sufficient (google it for a definition). Like most Americans in this economy I am struggling and hoping that I don't have to resort to a "government assistance program" which I abore by the way. I go to school fultime and work partime, fulltime in the summer, and I take care of my only son, thats right not 2, 3, 4, or 5 kids like you are probably stereotyping in your head right now, just one kid. And as for my Loyalties FYI I am 100% American in my heart, mind and country of birth, second generation, born in Michigan and raised in Texas, God Bless'em both. and by the way my real name is Benny or Benito (birthname) Q. and thats as much as you need to know, so quit looking at life through your racist colored glasses Dude! \m/
Q2trixie....that's the problem, isn't it? You are a Mexican American, not an American Mexican
Your people rarely serve in the military unless you get something free out of it, like citizenship. You are greedy losers that just take and take and take. We don't want your illegal cousins here robbing our citizens.
Your people are scum that have contributed nothing substantial to society, while committing crimes and getting free govt assistance.
Jorge-2541621
Don't vote for Obama give the GOP power and you'll regret it.
Yes Jorge......in the current atmosphere, working hard, investing and becoming financially sound makes you Evil. THIS is what Obama has done....this class warfare. Before you liberals rant and jump to his defense I am neither Democrat or Republican. I see what I see and this has been the rhetoric for the last 4 years.
THE BIGOTS ARE OUT ON THIS BLOG !!!! What strikes me is that LATINOS are smart and know the insides of humanity and look at life Objectively, fully, and with purpose for all. Americans unfortunately see MONEY AS ALL IN LIFE forget Human aspects just MONEY. Making them Idiots and quite stupid.
If they vote for OBAMA there is reason of unity and whats best for America !!
The radical TEA SHYSTERS and REPUKEALINS are the DEVIL !!!
.....humanity doesn't pay the bills, my friend, and when the takers outnumber the givers the coming financial collapse will leave those Hispanics with NOTHING......except the knowledge of knowing that Obama was the guy who did it to them.....but then it will be his second term and too late to save the economy...they will have to live in their squalor or go home to their old squalor....
Alain, you sound like you need to get a job. This way you can SHARE more of your own money with those who have their hand out.
YOU are an idiot .....the illegals care about money or why would they be here breaking the law?
The citizens of their home countries aren't starving, so why are they here? GREED
It is easier to say oh-bah-MAH than ROM-en-ee.
Almost every Hispanic patient that comes through our clinic is on government medical assistance. So of course they do!
I Texmex from South Texas....and I agree, the truth is the truth bunch of lazy asses looking for a hand out!!
Art DLG: And none of them are 2 parent. 2 children households. more like 4,5,6 kids in each family.
I live in a community which has a large Hispanic population, and that's not my observation. In my neighborhood, we have Hispanic physicians, engineers and business owners; none of them are on any government handouts—some of them even are Republicans...
Invisible Hand: My clinic is in a poor neighborhood, so that is what I see. You probably live in a more up scale/moderate division.
Invisible Hand - " none of them are on any government handouts—some of them even are Republicans"
Yet you clearly understand the reality of most being Democrats and most leeching off of society, otherwise their being Republicans would not surprise you as it clearly does.
Not only is your hand invisible, so is your fairytale community.
PMoscatelli, if you work in a clinic in a poor neighborhood, your clinic is likely funded by the government. That means that your check comes from the same source as the income of many of your patients. Why would anyone choose to work in a place designed to help poor people and then look down their nose at them? Do such people lack sufficient training and expertise to work in upscale communities?
because the percent of hispanics in your community is very high. Not to many white people left where I live. And thier are still plenty of drs lawyers dentist engineers carpenters factory workers aroud
Pjam09, you do know don't you that 6 out of the top 10 states receiving more Federal money than they put in are RED states don't you? And California came in 43rd on the list.
1. New Mexico, $2.63 (Blue)
2. West Virginia, $2.57 (Red)
3. Mississippi, $2.47 (Red)
4. District of Columbia, $2.41 (Blue)
5. Hawaii, $2.38 (Blue)
6. Alabama, $2.03 (Red)
7. Alaska, $1.93 (Red)
8. Montana, $1.92 (Red)
8. South Carolina, $1.92 (Red)
10. Maine, $1.78 (Blue)
I'd like someone to tell me how Romney can be even remotely expected to win in November when he is getting crushed in 3 of the 4 key voting blocs
Latino voters....30 point lead for Obama
Black voters.....at minimum, a 60 point lead for Obama
And the LARGEST voting block in the country....Women voters.....at least a 15pt lead for Obama
You tell me how Romney wins an election with those numbers stacked against him.
Willard leads among non-Hispanic, white, male voters—the only demographic group that he can count on for support. While the nation's power and wealth are controlled by this group, it is representative more of the nation's past than its future.
The polls had McCain hopeful till 9:00pm to 9:30pm before his team shuts everything down so maybe Mittens can go to 10pm until he shuts it down!
Rob - It's easy, in reality Americans of all blocs AND parties are fed up with this administration, maybe you should take a look at todays earlier news that caused the desperate rush for a Obama propaganda article (which is what this is). Do you actually think nobody knew that Hispanics favor Obama or that it was just discovered today?
Obama suffers defections in Ark. and Ky. primaries
so pjama09, do you really think Obama cares if he suffers defections in Ark and Ky.? They would not vote for him in the General anyway. So why should he care?? Get real.
pj...they do polls all the time. This was not a poll by the Obama campaign. News orgs do polls all the time. Are you just waking up or something?
Besides that, you make no sense. You acknowledge that latinos are strongly in favor of Obama, and then in your next breath you say they are not.
I don't know, call me crazy, but I think I'll take the statistics of a legit poll over your opinion. no offense.
as for AK and KY....meaningless. This are solid red states anyways. Obama does not need these to win. Romney does.
Obama gives free stuff to lazy people; takes from the hard working, successful people. So the lazy people vote for him.
LOLOL...this poll must of been taken by "Latino's" who live outside the country!! LOLOL...Cause This Mexican American DOES NOT support obama...
this is nothing new, Art....poll after poll has shown Obama with a HUGE lead with the latino vote.
Id vote for Democrats to if they gave me welfare , handouts and free healthcare ..who wouldnt but thats why we in the shape we are today to many free loaders.
Ya think? Romney's "self deportation" plan is not popular! And no matter what they get Rubio to say, no doubt on the promise of being the VP nominee or of getting some plum appointment if Romney wins, Repubs are not going to vote for any kind of Dream Act or any kind of path to citizenship--EVER. If they do, they'll lose their base of whites who are terrified of no longer being in the majority and able to rule/lord it over all the minorities.
It doesn't matter what Rubio says. He's not Mexican.
...there is already a path to citizenship, all you have to do is apply......no mystery about it......
Actually, we lost being the majority in 2011. Whites are now less than 50% of the population.
Hey invisible, this poll is among LATINOS; in case you don't understand this term, it includes not just Mexican Americans but also Cuban, Puerto Rican, Colombian, El Salvadoran, etc.
Hispanic is not a race. They are actually white.
LyndaAZ, don't stop their ignorant rants with facts. They care not for an education.
Hey, Lynda—my next-door neighbor is a physician who immigrated from Peru. I guess that makes him Latino, but not Mexican, right?
If you listen to Eva Longoria, she doesn't believe Rubio is hispanic. She stated that over 60% of the hispanics in the US were Mexican and the others who call themselves hispanics pretend to be Mexican.
Yes Invisible. That is what she is saying.. where is your confusion?
Amused: Hispanics are of every race. The many of the Spanish assimilated with the Native people in Mexico before it was called Mexico, hence, Mexican. There are many different Europeans who settled in Mexico, just like the US.
Believe'nAmerica: Eva Longoria? Really, someone is quoting Eva Longoria?? Since when did she become the socio-historical authority on ethnicity? Mexico's first colonizers were Spaniards..followed by a whole host of others from many different countries but those did not leave their language, culture, or society and were assimilated into 'Spanish' Mexico. That's what makes you Hispanic or Latino or whatever some census taking bureaucrat decides to label you. The other 'Hispanics' that make up the 40% 'Sociologist Eva' does not recognize as Hispanic are Hispanic or Latino....because we all share the same ethnic colonizing experience as Mexicans...that being the Dominicans, Cubans, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Panamanians, Nicaraguans, just to name a tiny few.
Hey Eva, learn something other than your lines for next week's episode of whatever you are appearing in!
Actually no HIspanics are not considered Caucasian. I took a minority relations class and they are considered of color. What cracks me up is cases like Zimmerman. I was thinking he is criticizing black people for their color? He is calling them they. They always get away! Well in most cases when followers don't have guns.
ktlin, get your money back, cause they did you wrong. That or you are telling a bold face lie.
As a Hispanic I have to choose White Hispanic, or Black Hispanic on a census or any form. Your statement that Hispanic are considered "of color" is blatantly wrong.
It seems strange indeed that Willard, with his Mexican "heritage," isn't doing well among Latinos...
He doesn't like to talk about his polygamist brethren in Mexico. He only trotted it out briefly in Florida during the primaries to test the waters.
I think it curious that Obama has his birth certificate demanded because his father was from WHAT IS KNOWN NOW as Kenya but wasn't then. Yet McCains wasn't. HIs real birth certifiiate would say he was from Panana. Wonder what country that was at the time and it he is actually a citizen there? Trumps mother was from Scotland. Was he born there. Rubios is from Cuba. Was he born there. Snuck in and snuck out? What about Romney. And I have never figured out has he dad ran for president at all since he admitted being born in Mexico. Is it because the republicans have one standard for them which is anything goes and a more strict standard for Democrats. Or is it because they know what they can say to stir people up whether true or not. I love the question some ask regarding why Obama didn't show his birth certificate right away. Was he to take it to the moon (with the help of Newt of course) and sky write it. Maybe he should do that before the next election so everyone will see it. He did show it right away. On Fight the Smear.com Duh! But all these others haven't and they haven't been asked for them either that I have heard. YOu would think they would just volunteer them if it was that important wouldn't you? Now what hospital was Romney born in and what country? Same as his dad? Ewwww! He should at least have some of the scrutiny Obama has had. And who was his friend in first grade. Was that in France or the US? Or Mexico? We don't know do we? And not a republican cares! We at least need to know every person he ever talked to and how he managed to go on every trip he took since birth since he couldn't have possibly had that money himself.
Mexicans like libs\dems because they think they can get more from the go'ment when they are in office.
And Texicans love con/reps because they think they can get more from the go'ment when they are in office.

REAL facts seem to tell a different story. (But then -- right wing types don't like facts)
The top 10 welfare recipient states and what party do the governors of those states belong to?
1) New Mexico (Democrat)
2) Mississippi (Republican)
3) Alaska (Republican)
4) Louisiana (Republican)
5) West Virginia (Republican)
6) Alabama (Republican)
7) South Dakota (Republican)
8) Kentucky (Republican)
9) Virginia (Republican)
10) Montana (Republican)
And they like republicans because they give them amnesty for votes. Do you have a fault memory of just didn't know that Reagan pardoned them when he was in officde. He just didn't do the follow up to stop the next few millions. Thought the republicas may have needed a few more votes?
where this president is in the polls is the least of his concerns - I wish that he would pay attention to what he should be paying attention to:

Prophesies???
Invisible Hand,
Maybe if he offered to legalize (mormonize) all their multiple marriages they would like him better. I've worked with Mexicans all my life and know that it is a sign of pride to talk about their wife here and their wife there and their.......
But I still like them and prefer them hands over foot to a dumb redneck racist.
None of this really matters. The world ends in December if you haven't heard.
Iowa Guy - I really hope the Mayans are correct.
Actually they found more of that Mayan calendar and apparently it goes on forever. It was in the news a few weeks back.
Toby, its a cover-up so that we won't panic.... lol I don't want the conspiracy to be over.
Wow so many Obama sheep :)
why that is easy.
because I would rather die in a bloody civil war then to ever live in a far rihgt country... I am willing to defend this nation from people like you
Great work Dong. You represent the left to a "T".
And with your rhetoric pjama09 you represent the right wing to a T. Are you happy?
bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh humbug; bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Are we talking about legal Latino voters. Or are we talking about the illegal Latino voters
that the Democrats have paid with free benefits to vote for Obama?
Tom's been listening to that nonsense from Sheriff Joe Arpaio...
It's been difficult to get a majority of Latinos who are U.S. citizens to register and vote—what would motivate any non-citizen, especially one who is in the U.S. illegally, to risk arrest, prosecution and deportation to attempt to register and vote when they can expect no tangible benefit for doing so?
Republicans have created the phony "problem" of non-citizens allegedly registering and voting in order to legislate barriers that prevent poor citizens from exercising their right to vote, the sole purpose of which is to reduce their participation in the political process.
No credible, independent study exists that supports the theory that non-citizens are attempting to register and vote in any meaningful numbers, that would have affected any election outcome. The vast majority of voter fraud cases turn out to be issues related to voters who have moved and not changed their address; voters who have moved and changed their address, but remain registered at two locations; and voters who have died and not been properly removed from the registration rolls. In most of these cases, errors are attributable to election authorities, and there is no instance of fraud.
Invisible Hand,
These guys don't want to read that stuff you're writing. To them truth just doesn't help their agenda and so throwing some tweaked information and false facts out there and lying until people get so tired of hearing it they believe it.....now that is what they would prefer.
But I think the American population is a little wiser now. Hope so. Keep up the good posts. You seem to know what you're talking about.
to: Invisible hand, Thank you for your briliant reasoning. I am Mex-Am, and that is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard, "Tom's" statement that is. I am also a Republican and I think that Arizona Republicans and Arpaio more directly has done more damage to the Republicans than the party as a whole.
p.s. Arpaio is of spanish origin, I guess he is trying to follow in Hitlers footsteps. Denial and rejection of ones own race or heritage. Google Arpaio and see how many spanish connections the name has : )
It doen't take much in the way of voter fraud to change elections. In a lot of elections the differance is less then 100 votes. Not to mention that this county has a hi degree of low voter turnout. Second it is not difficult for a citzen to register to vote. Federal laws make it pretty simple. As a latino I do find it offenceive that Arpio is attacked for up holding the law. While most don't want to include Illegals (not the best term) but it is accurate. Most have to wait years, and go through a lot of trouble to come here legally, and become a citizen. Only to have some cross the border and demand the rights that others have worked so hard to get. Obama gives Hispanic's the cold sholder, makes promises then gives nothing, until like last time he need our votes, the the promises come again. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice I am a fool. You have not fulfulled any of your promises when you could have done so easily with the control you had in Congress and the White House, so why should I believe you this time, when you control only the Senate and the White House.
Wow, this guy gets it! Problem is that most don't and are still in dream land from listening to the empty speeches. Remember, watch what he does, not what he say's and you will also get it.
Most don't / wont / can't vote.
Dave,
That is the biggest problem with the Mexican community. In Mexico democracy is really just now trying to come alive. Down there they have been used to having their political leaders "picked" by the party. Remember driving in Monterrey with my girlfriend and when she saw a political billboard for the presidential election she sighed and said, "Well, I guess that's going to be our next one." When I asked her why she was so sure about that she replied that "they always stick in there who they want. Our votes don't mean anything." Takes a long time to get used to something different. I always told the ones that I worked with to pay attention because they were soon going to be the majority up here, and that when they realized that their votes DO count they are going to have a lot of say in what goes on. Sorry rednecks. Get ready for it. It's a coming.
I am for every citizen using their right to vote. The problem is that most do not take the time to make an informed vote. The just go along with the crowd. It was kind of scary that most felt we were headed in the right direction. Not sure what that means. More taxes, regulation, less freedoms, and such. At the current rate, I do not think that even Mexico would want California back in it's current state.
REPUBLICANS NEED TO WAKE UP! Have any of you not watched the news lately? It is not the DEMS who are spending the money, it is the crappy legislation passed by the Bush administration. We are still paying for the tax breaks for the rich, two wars that shouldn't have been started. When will you idiots wake up?
I also love the immigration articles, they hardly ever talk about how THIS PRESIDENT has successfully implemented immigration tactics that now have zero illegal immigrants coming to the United States.
Or how the current policies in place will have the unemployment rate down to 5% by 2017.
Face it Republicans, it takes a Democrat to clean up your messes of uncontrollable spending. Always and always will.
LOL at the Ron Paul supporters, Ron Paul 20NEVER.
The Latinos I knew were to smart to vote for Jughead, but then, they weren't illegal aliens either.
Yes, but only a few thousand are here legally.
Latinos think this country is headed in the right direction because they are getting so much free from our govt. which at this point is driven by nothing more than a desire to buy votes.
The sad part is Latinos think Obama cares about them. All he cares about is getting their vote.
Latinos are Republicans when you think of it - they just don't know it yet.
A president cares for all people not just a few. That would be Mr.Obama.
Yvonne, this hispanic can't stand you or YOUR president. He cares for nothing but controlling the masses. You are probably one of his robotic campaign employees. I doubt if you have ever even met a hispanic. Rebel, not all hispanics are morons who vote for the leftist agenda.
Hmmm.. So I guess that most hispanics are NAZI's then huh? Going for the right's agenda...
Sure thing Ninja we are still the same old GOP that created the first Civil Rights Bill in 1955 that got sent for a vote in the Senate.
