Hispanics Want Candidates to Focus on Education: Poll

“If 2008 presidential hopefuls want a piece of the Latino voting pie, they must concentrate on their educational agendas and focus on the future of America’s public education system, according to the results of a national poll released July 23.

Latinos nearly unanimously identified education as a “very important priority” for presidential candidates–one they said will heavily affect their vote.
