Kerry and his vice presidential choice, John Edwards (news - web sites), have the support of 62 percent of the Hispanics polled, while the Bush/Dick Cheney (news - web sites) ticket has 32 percent support, according to a joint survey by The Pew Hispanic Center and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Bush, according to exit polls, got about 35 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2000, a key constituency which could decide the election in swing states like Florida and Arizona, both of which went narrowly to Bush.
The survey polled 788 adults between July 12 and 20, and had a margin of error 3.5 percent.
