USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: Latinos strongly backing Obama

By Susan Page, USA TODAY Updated 26m ago

WASHINGTON – President Obama has built an overwhelming lead among Latino voters, a nationwide USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of Hispanics finds, as Republican challenger Mitt Romney faces a difficult path ahead to make inroads among what has been the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group for a generation.

The president leads Romney 66%-25% among more than 1,000 Latino registered voters surveyed April 16 to May 31, matching his muscular showing in the 2008 election among Hispanics. Romney is in the weakest position among Latinos of any presidential contender since 1996 — and in those intervening 16 years their percentage of the electorate has doubled.

Since the poll was taken, Obama has fortified Hispanic enthusiasm by announcing he would block the deportation of an estimated 800,000 undocumented young Latinos who were brought to the United States as children. In a subsequent USA TODAY/Gallup survey, taken Wednesday-Saturday, more than eight in 10 Latinos approved of the president's action, most of them strongly.

welcome to American politics. This level of play to win office or stay in office has been going on for most of America's history. Obama is playing like all the rest have and will. If you're going to bitch, don't bitch about what one person is doing, bitch about the whole fucking thing. Otherwise we're just sitting here pointing fingers at eacher while the next cycle promises the same shit again and then again.

Funny - I rarely ever feel pandered to as a "typical white person" who pays taxes and works as Obama would call me.

Funny thing too with most minorities, they fall for these cheap stunts like a bunch of suckers every time.

The more obamatinez panders like this to shore up his base, the more he loses white voters, who make up a far bigger portion of the electorate.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Repub platform doesn't offer anything of value to Latino's unless they also happen to be millionares

Why the fuck should different groups be pandered to based on ethnic or or basis'?

STFU. You think the Demos dont pander to "millionaires" and corporations? Fucking idiot.

And how do the GOP win elections if they are only pandering to millionasires and bilionaires?

Obama and the Demos took more corporate money in 2008 than McCain and you circus clowns on the left never said a word.

By and large the Repubs pander to the upper class and corporation and the Dems pander to the middle class and lower class

Repubs also pander to religious types on the so called "social issues"

Come on - you know all this shit by now

LOL! Demos pander to the middle class? LMFAO!

Yeah, pandering to illegals and jacking up everything from energy to health care costs to pay for welfare people is really reaching out alright.

You can feel funny about it all you want, it doesn't change the fact that politicians in America have successfully exploited immigrants for their own gain for a very long time. If Romney is elected and has the need and opportunity to do so in 2016, he will do the same. It’s not my fault this is the case.

There are two ways to oppose this kind of shit in politics: Your way which ends up pitting left vs. right while the politician gets away with it and we repeat the same cycle over and over. And the way that hasn’t been tried.

You know what, "pander" is your word and I shouldn't have used it
It has a perjorative conotation
Its not pandering to advocate for healthcare or equal pay for woman or equal rights for gays

Im not disagreeing. But pandering based on ethnic , racial, gender, etc lines foments some really bad shit in this country.

As a taxpayer and a citizen? Absolutely.

Obama is an enemy to the USC he swore to uphold, he is an enemy to taxpayers trying to make a living in this country, he is an enemy to veterans, he is an enemy to people who want freedom to be left alone from progressive marxists like yourself, he is an enemy to liberty, he is an enemy to the Bill of Rights, he is an enemy to the economy, etc.

He is a sleeper cell neo-jihadist all on to himself.
