Pew Research Center has a new poll that appears to be good news for Barack Obama: it shows him leading John McCain 66 percent to 23 percent in support among Hispanics nationwide.
That poll has Obama doing better than Gallup’s numbers from earlier this month, which showed Obama leading McCain 59 percent to 29 percent.
McCain has courted Hispanic voters hard with a series of ads targeting them. In one Spanish-language radio ad, which aired in Nevada and New Mexico, McCain’s campaign questioned Obama’s commitment to Hispanic voters, as McCain’s former Naval Academy roommate suggested Obama has “just discovered the importance of the Hispanic vote.”
