Polls show growing enthusiasm among Latino voters in Colorado as the election nears, but Latino leaders who have been involved with get-out-the-vote campaigns say excitement about the November election has been tempered by little progress on immigration issues.

"We haven't seen the enthusiasm this year. We're certainly not seeing the enthusiasm we saw in 2008," said Grace Lopez Ramirez, state director for Mi Familia Vota.

Lopez Ramirez spoke about the upcoming election Wednesday at Metropolitan State University of Denver when results of a new survey were released showing President Obama still has the support of 74 percent of Latino voters in Colorado.

That poll, commissioned by Latino Decisions for America's Voice, also showed the different level of enthusiasm than some Latino leaders are seeing on the ground level. In the Latino community, 69 percent of voters reported being very enthusiastic about voting in 2012 and 54 percent of those reported being more enthusiastic about voting in this election than in 2008.
