Well, the Obama political gain, by offering illegal immigrants their amnesty appears to be working.

Translation of article:
A year after the election, Latinos still support Obama, poll
Latinos registered to vote for the most part continue to support Obama rather than the general population, and the issue of immigration, but took second place in importance behind the economy, remains of concern, even among Republicans, whose Most favors immigration reform.
These and other data were obtained from a survey conducted by Univision and Latino Decisions and provide a snapshot of the Hispanic population and voters in general to an exact year of the presidential elections of 2012.
Look at the survey Noticias Univision, Latino Decisions
At the time of vote if elections were held today, Hispanics registered to vote are inclined mainly by the current president. If you had to choose between Obama and Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate who is leading the trends, the president would achieve the 67 percent of preferences versus 24 percent for the Republican.
Among the general population, 51 percent were inclined to Obama and 42 percent for Romney.
If Obama against Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, 68 percent of Latinos is inclined to the president while only 21 percent do so by Perry. Among the general population, 52 percent were inclined to Obama and 42 percent for Perry.
If the presidential election was between Obama and Herman Cain, who knew African American to own a pizza chain, Obama would win with 65 percent, leaving the Republican with 22 percent. Among the general population, Obama would achieve the 49 percent versus 43 percent for Cain.
Among the Republican candidates, Hispanic registered voters prefer Romney with 15 percent, followed by Perry with 13 percent, Cain with 12 percent and Ron Paul with 6 percent. Michelle Bachman has about 5 percent of the vote, Newt Gingrich 4 percent and Jon Huntsman only 2 percent.
These figures contrast between the general population, which includes 10 percent of Latinos, as Herman Cain preferences leads with 23 percent, followed by Romney with 18 percent, Perry with 10 percent and Gingrich with 8 percent. Paul preferences close to 6 percent, Bachmann with 5 percent and Huntsman with 2 percent.
It should be noted that this survey was conducted before the sexual harassment allegations made by four women against Herman Cain.
The Republicans
"One of the most important things that this survey shows is that Republicans are far behind in its connection to Latino voters. When asked about the Republican candidates, an overwhelming majority, which sometimes reaches 75 percent, had never heard of them or had no opinion of them, "said Matt Barreto Univision.com, Latino Decision, one of the responsible of the survey.
'We still do not know Mitt Romney, who is first in the polls and candidate who was already in 2008. Nearly half of Latino voters, 46 percent, said he knew who he was or had no opinion. When you look at the opinion they have of it tends to be mostly negative, "said Barreto.
'Republicans' continued Barreto-must increase their efforts to reach Latinos and stop harping on illegal immigration and when they do, they tend to be negative because they are talking to his followers in the Tea Party. Latino voters away when they talk constantly of illegal immigration. Have to talk about all issues, especially jobs and the economy. The Republicans have to make changes and increase its presence in the Latino community. Hispanics are much importance in this election. If the Republicans hope will be too late. "
The management of Obama
As regards the term as president, Obama appears much better positioned than Congress, according to the survey of Univision and Latino Decisions. The president endorsed by 66 percent while 29 percent disapproved. Congress, meanwhile, only received 27 percent approval versus 63 percent disapproval.
These figures are lower among the general population: 48 percent approve of Obama while 50 percent disapprove. Regarding Congress, 19 percent of respondents approve of while 77 percent disapproved.
'One of the findings of this survey is that 53 percent of Latinos are less enthusiastic about Obama compared with 2008. Only 29 percent are more enthusiastic. While Republicans have too many challenges, Obama's side things are not so clear either. This can translate into fewer votes, not necessarily less percentage, "Barreto noted.
'Do you see a massive turnout at the polls of Latinos? There may be many Latinos who say 'Why vote in this election?'. The importance is the number of votes, not the percentage, for the president. "
The issues that matter
Asked about what were the issues important to Latinos registered to vote, 54 percent took the lead on the economy and employment, 46 percent said immigration and 16 percent chose education reform.
While 57 percent of Latinos said they were registered as Democrats, 26 percent are registered to vote as a Republican. These figures vary from the general population: 39 percent said it is affiliated with the Democratic Party and 38 percent to Republicans.
An important fact: 67 percent of Latinos blame former President George W. Bush state of the economy, versus 50 percent among the general population. Among Hispanics, only 19 percent blame Obama for the state of the economy, a figure that rises to 33 percent among voters in general.
Regarding social issues, 35 percent of Latino registered voters think that abortion should only be allowed when the mother's life is in danger. 28 percent of Hispanics favor abortion in all circumstances, while 15 percent believe it should be legal in almost all circumstances. The 19 percent believe it should be illegal in all situations.
These numbers remained consistent among the general population.
On same-sex couples, 43 percent of Latinos think they should be able to legally marry while 13 percent favor civil unions only. 26 percent of Latinos surveyed felt that gay marriage should not be recognized legally.
Regarding the health reform bill, promoted by President Obama, 47 percent of Hispanics believe it should be kept as a law while 27 percent were inclined to revocation. Among the general population, 44 percent want to be repealed and 39 percent is maintained.
Immigration matters and much
Immigration became second in degree of importance, relegated by the economy. However, the survey found a striking fact: the humane treatment of immigrants is crucial to the Hispanic voter in supporting a candidate or not.
One question read: 'If you support the economic plan of a candidate and the issue of immigration that has said that illegal immigrants are a threat to America and never could support an amnesty for illegals, what would think that statement? '.
Some 54 percent of Latino respondents said they would be less willing to support that candidate, while only 14 percent said they would be more willing to support it.
At the same question, and among Latino Republicans, 46 percent said they would be less inclined to vote for that candidate. This support increases to 67 percent among Latino Republicans if the candidate supports a more humane approach to illegal immigrants.
'Latinos Republicans favor a more humane approach to immigration issues. We found a very small percentage, even among Republicans, who support the positions of Cain or Romney. This is a serious problem for these two candidates. Latinos are moving away from his own party, "said Matt Barreto.
'A small percentage of Latinos say they do not care what the candidates say about immigration as long as they agree on the economy. While the economy remains the main issue, immigration has the ability to zoom in or out the voter's candidate. If you say the wrong thing about immigration, the candidate alienate the voter and it is a personal matter to Hispanics', ended Barreto.
The two surveys were conducted between October 21 and November 1 this year and have a margin of error (plus or minus) 3.1 points. 1,000 people were questioned for the survey of Latinos and 1.000 for the general population. All respondents were registered to vote.

...and it might be a good idea to leave this poll alone. I sense a trap.
In reading the article, the author has already stated Obama is the winner of the poll - tomorrow morning, the dude looks at the page and sees...this...
As much as it pleases me to see Obama lose to the good doctor...think.
