Eight Percent of Latino Voters Have Already Voted

Latinos are more enthusiastic about voting than they were just 10 weeks ago and President Barack Obama is on track to win the largest share of Latino voters in 16 years, according to the latest Latino Decisions/impreMedia tracking poll.

Seventy-three percent of all Latino registered voters support Obama, while 21 percent favor Romney, according to the poll. That 52-point gap matches the largest gap among Latino voters this, found in an October 1 poll, according to Latino Decisions. Addtionally, 45 percent of Latino voters say they are more enthusiastic about voting in this election than they were in 2008, compared with just 37 percent 10 weeks ago.

A full 87 percent of Latino voters say they are almost certain they will vote, including eight percent who have already voted early. According to Census statistics, 84 percent of Latino registered voters cast a ballot in 2008.
