Despite Amnesty, Hispanics Still Not Excited About Obama

Yankee Traveler 2012/06/22 09:36:44

As always suspected, polls of the dictator-n-chief are not to be believed for they have only one agenda and that is to help this fraud to another term and further destroy OUR country.

In the days immediately after Barack Obama decreed an amnesty for 800,000 illegal aliens, the Democrat cheerleaders in the media have been giddily claiming that it has ignited Hispanic enthusiasm to vote for Obama. According to Obama’s steno pool, this decree solved a problem that has been plaguing Obama’s reelection campaign plans for months.

A Latino Decisions and America's Voice survey found “registered voters” are “very enthusiastic” about Barack Obama’s announcement granting amnesty to these 800,000 people. Aside from the fact that there is a difference between enthusiasm for a policy and enthusiasm to vote for Obama, the “new surge of enthusiasm” only brings Hispanics’ desire to vote roughly in line with that found among blacks and young voters.

Enthusiasm among none of these groups stands above 48%. Numbers like this will not get Obama re-elected.

Before Obama’s announcement, 53% of Hispanics reported being less enthused about voting next November than they were in 2009. Thirty percent were more enthused to vote. The hidden gem in these numbers shows that an alarming 22% were excited to vote before the BIG announcement. Twenty two percent!

An August 2008 CNN Poll found 62% of Hispanics were looking forward to voting, which they did at a rate of 66% for Obama. By 2010, Hispanic voting patterns had changed as they returned away from Democrats. In 2010, Hispanics voted 63% Democrat, down from 69% in 2006.

Bad numbers speak for themselves.

The most recent survey of Hispanic voter enthusiasm before last weekend was completed in February by YouGov. It found that just 43% of Hispanic Democrats were looking forward to voting.

This means Obama’s BIG announcement may have moved Hispanic enthusiasm up 5 points. This “put him over the top”? That’s doubtful.

While all of this is playing out, it is worth noting that in 2008, CNN found that 92% of blacks were excited to vote, and they voted 95% for Obama. A February 2012 YouGov poll reported that black voter enthusiasm had fallen to 60%, which was what white voter enthusiasm was just before the 2008 election.

Remember these numbers; they make sense of Obama’s moves and prove that predictions of his victory are wishful thinking at best.

You!

    Obie said he is complicit with Holderkov in killing Mexicans. He is against the religion of the Spanish, in favor of abortion, in favor of perverted Gringoes teaching Latino children about sex, in favor of doing away with marriage as the Latinos know it and inserting the 'village' concept instead of family. And what Latino fighting in the armed services did he go to bat for and say lets get this guy citizenship? (zerro).

    Even Illegal's are having a hard time finding a job now! Many of them are smarter than they think and won't fall for this latest attempt to get their vote. Many of them are moving back to Mexico. There are no good paying jobs anywhere for anyone now! How can this be a good thing at all for re-election? I agree with the 2008 slogan though. It's time for change!

    Perhaps Hispanics have figured out the Obama's version of amnesty does nothing for them in the long run. In fact, it may have hurt any long term permanent solution that was being spearheaded by Rubio.

    That only proves they are smart people who can plainly see, Obama is only using them to get elected. Remember he promised blacks that manna would be running in the streets for them.. and what has he really done to improve their lives??? Got a few more blacks anchor jobs on the Obama news network... he will use the Hispanics the same way. Shame on you if you beleive him!

    I have heard time and again that amnesty and immigration reform will secure the Hispanic vote for Obama, but in my own little microcosm (which exists about 300 miles from the US Mexico border). I see a lot of Hispanics who are pissed about amnesty they worked very hard to become citizens or get work permits or they remember watching their parents work to become citizens. Seeing it gifted away to those who have not earned it is a slap in the face.
    That's my observation from my little slice of the world.

    Like most polls the numbers are probably still not in the reality range. Like obama's popularity, how is that so high? Oh sure people like the guy but they don't want him cutting their lawn.
