GOP’s image taking a beating among Latinos

By Greg Sargent

The new NBC/WSJ/Telemundo poll contains a striking finding: Obama is leading Mitt Romney among likely Latino voters by 50 points, 71-21. That’s a pretty big deal — a significantly bigger spread than Obama’s 67-31 margin over John McCain in 2008. But there’s also some important stuff down in the internals.

As Sam Stein notes, a key finding here is that virtually all the Latino respondents are showing a high interest in the election. That bodes well for high Latino turnout, which could be crucial to Obama’s hopes.

But I’d point to another finding: The GOP’s positive ratings among Latinos are abysmally low, and the negative ratings are (for Republicans) alarmingly high.

The poll finds that only 21 percent view the Republican Party positively, lower than at any other point since May of 2010 in this poll. The percentage viewing the GOP negatively is at 52 percent, higher than at any point since September of 2008. That’s 31 points under water.
