"Obama Will Have Problems With Latinos" NOT!

According to a poll from Public Policy Polling, Obama leads McCain in Florida 46% to 44%.  Although it's within the margin of error of the survey (+/- 3.6%), it is telling that among Latinos, Obama leads McCain 51% to 37% (on page 7 of the results).  That trend is consistent with PPP's results for Virginia (47%-36% Hispanics & "others") as well.

I guess we can start putting this myth to rest now.

UPDATE - 7-2-2008: 

Hispanic registered voters' support for Barack Obama for president remained consistent and strong in June, with Obama leading John McCain by 59% to 29% among this group.

While Hispanics generally preferred Hillary Clinton to Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, a solid majority of Hispanics have consistently backed Obama against McCain in general-election trial heats. Obama has led McCain by about a 2-to-1 margin since Gallup began tracking general-election voting preferences in early March.

Emphasis added.  This is just what I expected: when Latinos look at what McCain and Obama have to offer, Latinos would brake in large numbers in favor of Obama.

Now, the only thing we need is to remember to vote.
