resident Barack Obama seems to have fallen short on economic and immigration promises he made to Latino voters before he was elected.
Still, his approval ratings among Latino voters increased to 70 percent after falling as low as 57 percent in June 2010 in a Gallup poll, according to La Opinión.
The Spanish-language newspaper cited a poll conducted by its parent company ImpreMedia and Latino Decisions, a research group that focuses on issues facing Latinos.
In 2008, Obama garnered 67 percent of the Latino votes, according to La Opinión. The same poll also concluded that Latino voters would not automatically vote for Obama. Only about 43 percent said they would vote for him next year.
"There is no doubt that Obama has the ability to win the Latino vote, and he still has solid support within the community,'' Matt Barreto, a political science professor at the University of Washington, told La Opinión. "But when it comes to whether they will vote for him for sure, Latinos show a margin of doubt."
Barreto is also a pollster for Latino Decisions.

Ya.....I know plenty. I know one who can't even speak Spanish very well. Some of the other hispanic workers (sub contractors- who I suspect were illegal aliens) joked that he was a gringo. I asked him about amnesty for illegal aliens.......he said he supported it as those were "his people" as he put it.
Appears that they can only ‘assimilate’ our welfare and giveaway checks, huh?
Seems those from California are the few here with any guts, and seem to stand up and state the truth regardless of threat.....I feel the same B...I just don't care anymore...

You didn’t see what AuntB posted. You should withhold judgement given what she has had yanked on this thread.
Baloney.
See Susana Martinez, a native Latina who was elected governor of N.M. in a state that is heavily democrat. She campaigned on cracking down on illegals. And she won handily.
