Poll: Obama Loses 1/3 of Hispanic Support

Poll: Obama Loses 1/3 of Hispanic Support, Abortion a Reason | LifeNews.com: Obama hosted a meeting at the White House for Latino groups that focus on political advocacy, but, on the same day, Gallup released a new poll showing his Hispanic support down about 30 percent over the course of the last 18 months. In December 2009, Obama received a 73 percent favorable rating from Hispanics, but that dropped to 52 percent at the end of June.

The poll cites economic issues as turning off Latino voters, but the Hispanic outreach director for National Right to Life says Obama's aggressive promotion of abortion is also playing a key role.

Editor: An earlier headline touted abortion as THE reason. I later realized that was misleading.
