Overall, Obama has the support of 73% of all Latino registered voters, compared to 21% who favor Romney. The 52-point gap matches the largest gap among Latinos this year, also found in the October 1 tracking poll.

2. Glad to see it

In years past when they would report a 65-35 Dem/Pub split, I wondered why more Hispanics weren't coming over to our side. Hoping the numbers continue to grow as they realize that the Pubs don't want them here and will do nothing to help them.

3. One of the biggest unknown questions in the election to be answered November 6

Is whether the regular national pollsters (eg. Gallup, Rasmussen, ABC etc.) have been underestimating Obama's support with Latinos.

Latino Decisions is showing larger amounts of support for Obama than that which shows up in the standard pollsters. They presumably know more about how to contact Latino voters and usually do more of their interviews in Spanish than typical mainstream media pollsters.

If Latino Decisions is right about Obama's numbers, and if Latinos turn out in large numbers, Obama may have a higher level of national support than that being picked up by the other pollsters.
