Battleground Poll Has Latino Participation Dropping From 9% To 6% From 2008

That's a .333 drop. IMHO, that's not credible.

I based it on their poll:

And 2008 Exit Polls:

1. I Agree that It's Not Credible

I expect to see Latino participation hold even with voter suppression efforts in place. It woul dno doubt increase were it not for the onerous ID laws in some of the states.

2. I Realize Participation Can Fluctuate

But I don't see a .333 drop in Latino participation especially when their percentage of the population is growing much faster than any other group.

3. What was the polling before 2008 election? If it's similar that can explain descrepency

4. I Guess We Could Go Back To 2004

But I assure you the percentage of Latinos has went up a lot in eight years, more so than any other group.
