The Zogby International poll conducted for the Miami Herald found that 61.1 percent of Hispanics nationwide supported Kerry, while 32.8 percent backed Bush.

Both Kerry's and Bush's campaigns have spent heavily on wooing the growing Hispanic population, which amounts to more than six percent of the electorate but 13 percent of the population.

Overall, the poll found that 56.3 percent of Hispanics believed the country was heading in the wrong direction under Bush, while 36.5 percent thought it was heading on the right track.

Zogby interviewed 751 Hispanic voters from last Tuesday to Friday. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

The poll, conducted for The Herald by Zogby International last week, shows that about 61 percent of Hispanic voters nationwide support Kerry, while about 33 percent support Bush. The poll of 751 Hispanic likely voters has a margin of error of 3.7 percent.

``What this means is that Kerry has done what Gore did,'' pollster John Zogby said. ``And secondly, it's now over 60 percent of a larger group of Hispanics.''
