LAT: Latino Support Kerry, Say Bush Misled Public on Iraq…
Edited on Fri Jul-23-04 10:59 PM by kskiska
WASHINGTON — Latino voters are strongly backing Sen. John F. Kerry over President Bush, who a majority say deliberately misled the public into war in Iraq, according to data released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Kaiser Family Foundation.

A poll by the groups shows the Massachusetts Democrat leading Bush by a ratio of nearly 2 to 1 among Latino voters — a group whose numbers have grown 20% since 2000 but whose breakdown by party has stayed virtually the same since the last presidential election.

Of the 788 registered Latinos questioned in the poll, 59% said they supported Kerry, 31% said Bush and 3% picked independent candidate Ralph Nader.

In a larger survey of 1,166 registered Latinos, 54% said the president deliberately misled Americans while making the case for war in Iraq. And when asked about Bush's handling of the war, a majority were displeased, with 41% saying they strongly disapproved, nearly twice as many as those who strongly approved.

2. Where is George P Bush?
He's too obviously missing. Bush used him big time to sucker Latinos last election.

3. George P. is working for a Texas law firm
instead of serving his country in Iraq. He's also got a wedding coming up. Can't run for office without a wife. That's the way his Uncle George did it.
