Battleground Latino poll: Obama over Romney 53-37 in Florida.

[bigtree]

Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney 53-37 percent in Florida among Hispanic votes, according to a new poll from Latino Decisions (which produces great polls) and the liberal group America’s Voice. Error margin: 4.9%. Fifty percent said they were more enthusiastic about Obama since he announced he would ease deportations of young undocumented residents.





The 16-percentage point lead is where Obama needs to be, at least as measured by his win in Florida over John McCain in 2008, when Obama's Hispanic margin was 15 points.

1. I thik Az will be very close.

remember though that there is a large mormon population there so it will be close.

2. Too bad there aren't many latinos in Florida.

9. When Rick Scott is done there won't be that many on the voter lists

He'll have them all purged by Election Day.

3. Wow!

That's A LOT closer than I thought it would be. Only 53% for President Obama? I guess all the republican Cubans in Florida make this one closer, huh?

4. this isn't 2008

for June, I think that's a good margin of support.

5. This reflects badly on the Jebster.

It's good to see his protégé sucking big time in the polls.

6. i guess the other 37%

are illegal cubans

7. Gees! Look at AZ! Obama 74, Rmoney 18

Jan Brewer, and Rmoney himself, may have handed the Grand Canyon State to Obama in November.

I would like to see those kind of numbers spread elsewhere. I don't think Rmoney can win in November without the Latino voters. He already has the blacks, the LGBT community, and women pissed off at him.

But, he still apparently has white males, Mormons, and evangelicals, plus maybe a good chunk of libertarians. I don't think that has a hope of winning for him.

Also, we don't know what is going to happen in Tampa. The last thing Rmoney needs is to be bloodied by a floor fight at the convention. From Ron Paul's actions at state conventions in several states, I suspect that he has something up his sleeve.

This may get very interesting. And maybe a bit scary.

8. Romney will carry Arizona, though not by a huge margin

The other states are where this is going to matter. Mitt's going to have to fight hard for Virginia and Colorado. He might get one, but not both. He may lose both too. Nevada is probably already out of reach for him.

11. You're probably right. Lots of AZ Mormons.

13. I don't think that's necessarily it. There are plenty of Mormons in Nevada too

But if Brewer can get in and retain support, I think the Mittster can win there. It's a fairly conservative state.

But Arizona always goes Republican. In order to win, Romney has to flip a few states from last time. And he's going to have a lot of trouble doing that.

10. Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia are the three I like to see.

Without two of those, Obama loses the election.

12. What I don't understand is how ANY Latino could vote for Romney but for that matter

blacks
women
gays
government workers
christians (except for the bigoted ones)
young people
I will make this simple

The only people who should vote for Romney are Rich White Men
