From La Opinión:
Despite the dire situation of the economy and the lack of immigration solutions, President
Barack Obama's approval rating among Latino voters increased again to 70% after decreasing
in mid-2010. But that support does not translate into automatic votes for 2012. The
second part of a poll conducted by impreMedia and Latino Decisions also reveals that,
although Latino voters will not automatically vote for Obama-only 43 percent are sure
they will vote for him next year-doubts about the president and the Democrats are
not turning into support for the Republicans.... For Louis De Sipio, a political science
professor at UC Irvine, Latinos feel for Obama the same ambivalence as other voters
after a little over two years of government. But once the election is nearer and an
opponent appears, things "will become much clearer."
