NYC Hispanics Overwhelmingly Back Sen. Clinton
By Andrea Bernstein

NEW YORK, NY January 31, 2008 —The percentage of Hispanics registered to vote in New York City is growing sharply, a new survey finds -- and they're overwhelmingly backing Hillary Clinton in the presidential primary.

The Hispanic federation survey found the five boroughs have the second highest concentration of Hispanic voters in the country -- right behind Los Angeles. Three quarters of city Latinos identify themselves as democrats, and among those, Hillary Clinton is leading 66% to just sixteen percent for Barack Obama.

More than 20% of the city electorate is Latino, the survey found, with the number of registered Hispanic voters increasing 40% since 1990. The survey didn’t poll Hispanics outside of New York City -- and there are big populations in Westchester, Long Island, and Syracuse that will all be voting in Tuesday's primary.

5. Hillary is not Florida's senator. Did you expect her to win their support there as well?

Hispanics backed Clinton by a 2-to-1 in Florida.
