...it's that Romney has only 23 percent support.
President Barack Obama continues to lead big among Latino voters, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll released Wednesday.
The poll based on an oversample from Tuesday nights NBC/WSJ survey shows Obama earning the support of 67 percent of Latino voters nationwide, easily trumping Mitt Romney, who earns the support of just 23 percent.
Obama has consistently outpolled Romney among the burgeoning voting bloc, and the presidents standing among Latinos only grew stronger after his directive last month to suspend the deportation of some young illegal immigrants.

Terrible numbers.

How would that affect the numbers?

(17,651 posts)(I think) that there are 1-2million, unregistered but eligible to vote, Latinos in Florida alone.
The GOTV will have to get it into high gear soon if they aren't already.

(17,651 posts)No AA vote. No Latino vote. I really believe Independents are getting more leery and weary of his shenanigans.
Voter suppression, shutting down polls early and other crazy stuff, GOP voting machines flipping/losing D votes.
We must be xtra vigilant - they will try to steal what they can not fairly win.
