Senator Obama Continues to Show Strength with Hispanics
Senator Barack Obama continues to show strong support from the Hispanic community across the country, according to the latest polls.
The latest numbers from Florida show Senator Obama holding a two-point lead over McCain, and maintaining a fourteen point lead in Florida's Hispanic community, 51 percent to 37 percent. [PDF with the cross-tabs available here.] Public Policy Polling found an eleven-point lead for Senator Obama with Hispanics in Virginia roughly two weeks ago. [PDF]
Nationally, Senator Obama holds significant leads in several polls in recent weeks. Gallup showed the presumptive Democratic nominee with a commanding lead on John McCain, 62 percent to 29 percent. In mid-June, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found Senator Obama leading 62 percent to 28 percent. Last week, the Latino Decisions Poll found Hispanics backing Senator Obama over John McCain by 37 points, 60 percent to 23 percent.
Hispanics voters want change this November and know they won't get it from the candidate who walks in lockstep with George W. Bush.
