Poll: Latino voters overwhelmingly support Obama
By Jonathan Easley - 03/05/12 02:52 PM ET


Latino voters overwhelmingly support President Obama over any of the potential GOP candidates, according to a Fox News Latino poll released on Monday.

In a head-to-head match-up against President Obama, none of the Republican candidates polled higher than 14 percent among Latinos.

Additionally, 73 percent said they approved of the job the president has been doing, well above Gallup’s national average of 45 percent. And 58 percent said they approved of the president’s handling of the economy, which is by far the most important issue in the 2012 election.

Obama also wins a plurality among Latinos that supported Sen. John McCain (R-Ari.) in 2008, with 40 percent saying they would not vote for a Republican candidate again in 2012.

5. The immigration/voter ID laws scare me. Make sure you get everyone you know registered

to vote and keep an eye out on election. The ReThugs are going to do any and everything in their power to suppress the Latino vote!!

7. They keep demonizing Latinos, but they would sure appreciate your support in November.

I'm not sure that's how you make friends and influence people.

6. The numbers are absolutely brutal for the GOP

but, the reality is it will take huge efforts in registration and making sure potential voters have the ID required because of restrictive state laws.
