.. President Poorly Regarded by Hispanic Voters

5/5/2006


Sacramento, CA--(HISPANIC PR WIRE – US Newswire)--May 4, 2006--A new national survey released today by the Latino Policy Coalition finds that President George W. Bush has dramatically less support among Latino voters than popularly believed. He has even less support among Latinos than the Republican Party has.

"These findings debunk the conventionally held notion that Bush enjoys better than average affection among Latino voters," said Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners, who conducted the poll. "In fact, Bush's unpopularity among Latino voters has the potential to cause serious damage to Republicans as they head into the 2006 midterm elections."

The national poll found that Bush's positive job performance rating among Latino voters is a staggeringly low 23 percent. In contrast, 75 percent of Latino voters have a negative view of the job the president is doing.

"This survey reveals the failure of Karl Rove's strategy to grow the Republican share of Latino voters to a consistent forty-plus," said Antonio Gonzalez, president of the William C. Velasquez Institute, and a member of the Latino Policy Coalition. "President Bush's approval rating is down to 23 percent and falling, with the Republican-led Congress' rating even worse." <snip>
