Hopefuls gear for Hispanic Tuesday

[windansea]

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Tomorrow's Democratic presidential primaries are being dubbed "Hispanic Tuesday" here in the Southwest in recognition of the large role Hispanic voters could play, for the first time, this early in a nomination contest. Arizona holds a primary and New Mexico holds caucuses, and together they constitute more delegate votes than Missouri or any of the other four states holding contests tomorrow.

Polls show Sen. John Kerry leading in both states. A Zogby/MSNBC/Reuters tracking poll gave Mr. Kerry 36 percent support in Arizona, leading Wesley Clark's 24 percent and Howard Dean's 14 percent.
An Albuquerque Journal poll released yesterday showed Mr. Kerry with 31 percent support among possible New Mexico Democratic caucusgoers. Mr. Clark trailed with 15 percent support, and Mr. Dean had 14 percent.
An Arizona Republic survey showed a tighter race, with Mr. Kerry at 29 percent and Mr. Clark at 20 percent. Mr. Dean trailed with 12 percent.
