New poll: After SB1070 decision Obama widens lead over Romney among Latinos

Source: Latino Decisions

Latino Decisions released new national poll of Latino registered voters showing Barack Obama winning 70% of the Latino vote compared to 22% for Mitt Romney. The poll, commissioned by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and America’s Voice, illustrates an increase in support for President Obama, and comes after a month of outreach to Latino voters, starting with the June 15 Dream announcement, appearances by the President and Vice President at NALEO and NCLR conferences, and comments opposing Arizona’s SB1070 immigration law. This poll marks the first time Obama has received 70% of the vote in Latino Decisions polling on the presidential election over the past 20 months.

I know what Romney can do! He could sing "America the Beautiful" in Spanish. Or, he could arrange for Bain to outsource some jobs to Mexico!

The only Spanish that guy probably knows is "Yo quiero Taco Bell." He's got a tough row to hoe. A recent comment from George Will said that Romney would lose if he didn't get at least 31% of the Hispanic vote. Well, guess what, Mitts? Even my teabagger sister is sitting out the vote this fall; that's how much Hispanic support you've got.
