NALEO Poll: Post-Election Survey of Latino Voters
Among many new findings, the poll found strong support for the President-elect and the new Democratic Congress among Latino voters. This comes with high expectations on the part of Latinos to see their communities do better over the next four years. Nearly 70% of Latino voters expect the situation for Latinos to improve under the Obama Administration. These hopes are higher among immigrant voters with 3 of every 4 indicating that they expect a better lot with Barack Obama being elected President.- NALEO Educational Fund — 11-25-08
Close races where immigration is an issue, or Latino and Immigrant voters could make the difference.
