Immigration Issues Driving Latinos to the Polls, New Survey Finds

“Half of Latino voters say they are “more enthusiastic” about voting this year than in previous elections, according to a new poll released today by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). Seventy-five percent rated their interest in the election between 8 and 10, compared to 56% in a survey conducted in late September. The survey of 1,050 registered and likely voters, which has a margin of error of or - 3.2%, was conducted by Lake Research Partners and Public Opinion Strategies November 2-6.

“From all indications, Latinos are clearly fired up about the 2006 election. And this poll bears out what previous elections have demonstrated - that while immigration is not the Latino community’s greatest concern, the issue continues to be its greatest motivator,” noted Janet Murguí, NCLR President and CEO. “
