President Obama has built an overwhelming lead among Latino
voters, a nationwide USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of Hispanics finds, as Republican
challenger Mitt Romney faces a difficult path ahead to make inroads among what
has been the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group for a generation.
The president leads Romney 66%-25% among more than 1,000 Latino
registered voters surveyed April 16 to May 31, matching his muscular showing in
the 2008 election among Hispanics. Romney is in the weakest position among
Latinos of any presidential contender since 1996 — and in those intervening 16
years their percentage of the electorate has doubled.
