But I was more struck by how well Obama is doing with Fla Latinos at this stage, compared to Romney.
I'm not surprised at all.
Look at all the rhetoric coming from the right. It's very anti-illegal/immigrant.
If you don't think the Cubans in Miami aren't concerned, think again. I mean, really, how hard would it be for Republicans to end the gravy train that is Cuban immigration?
If they are going to go after Mexicans, they have to go after Cubans too and they know this.
This is one poll and is an outlier. In the past week, one poll was released in FL where Romney had a 5-point lead and another was released where Romney had a 4-point lead.
This is even with all the stuff about Bain having come out, with Newt's other attacks on Romney, and with more people learning more about Romney.
Furthermore, a poll conducted in 12 swing states (including Florida) was released in the past few days and had Romney leading Obama by 1 point.
One reason for the difference is that Marist and SUSA are the only pollsters to call cell phones and reach cell phone only households, which tend to be younger and much more Democratic.
Latinos overwhelmingly voting for Obama is the GE. So will blacks, asians, indians, gays, the young, women, the college-educated, college students, those who are underemployed, unemployed, historically discriminated against, the working class, the disadvantaged, the underprivileged, progressive whites, those who are racially inclusive, those who are racially-sensitive, those who are not bigots, those who live in the cities, and those who have not been swayed by the misguided Republican narrative.
As the party of the most bigoted segment of this country, the GOP stinks. Latinos now this.
Add Marco Rubio to the ticket and those numbers could be flipped to favor Romney.
