Related: About this forumUnivision Poll of Hispanics- Clinton 64% Bush 27%/Clinton 73% Sanders 3%
Clinton would win 64 percent of Hispanic voters over Bush in a hypothetical matchup. That includes a five-point lead in Bushs home state of Florida, a 42-point lead in Nevada, a 14-point lead in North Carolina and a 46-point lead in Colorado all swing states.
Clinton also holds an astronomical lead over the rest of the Democratic field. Seventy-three percent of Hispanics would choose her in a Democratic primary, compared to just 3 percent that back Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 1 percent who back former Gov. Martin OMalley (D-Md.).

I would have to crunch the numbers to see how she does in Fl if Bush lll reaches that level of Latino support. I suspect she still wins.

Supporting the DREAM Act. Hillary Clinton has called passage of DREAM Act long overdue. This legislation, which would allow immigrant children who have demonstrated good moral character, and are pursuing a college education or have enlisted in the military, the
opportunity to earn legal status in this country, was cosponsored by Clinton in 2003, 2005, and 2007.
Fighting for comprehensive immigration reform. Hillary Clinton has long been an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. She was one of the two cosponsors of Senator Ted Kennedys 2004 bill, the S.O.L.V.E. Act, and during her time in the Senate she continued to cosponsor and vote for comprehensive immigration reform legislation. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Hillary called for a path to legalization to bring people out of the shadows, and she pledged that, if elected, she would introduce a plan for immigration reform in the first 100 days of her presidency. As Sec. Clinton recently told a tearful young undocumented immigrant, Im a huge supporter of immigration reform and a path to citizenship and will continue to advocate for that.
Job training for people with limited English proficiency. Hillary Clinton developed and introduced legislation to expand job training access to people with limited English language skills. Touting this bill, the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act, Hillary said, There is no question that English proficiency is critical to economic advancement and improved quality of life for LEP [Limited English Proficient] workers and their families. Workers who are fluent in oral and written English earn about 24 percent more than those who lack fluency, regardless of their qualifications. These individuals are better able to participate in the civic life of their community, which so many LEP individuals in New York tell me they want to do.
Expanding opportunities to gain permanent residency. As a candidate for Senate, Hillary Clinton called for passage of legislation so that All immigrants on the verge of gaining residency status should not be forced to leave this country while they wait for the INS to process their application. The LIFE Act and LIFE Act Amendments, enacted in December 2000, allowed certain eligible immigrants until April, 2001 to apply for permanent residency without being forced to leave the United States first. As a Senator, Hillary urged those eligible to apply for the program and she cosponsored legislation to extend it until April, 2002.
Keeping families together. In 2007, during debate over the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, Hillary Clinton introduced an amendment to reclassify the spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents as immediate relatives. As she said before the vote, It is time to take all the rhetoric about family values and put it into action and show that we mean what we say when we talk about putting families first. That is what my amendment does
It is our view we must make reuniting families a priority in our immigration system, that we should show compassion for those living apart from their spouses and minor children, that we should reform immigration in a way that honors families and brings them together. The bipartisan amendment failed, 44-53.

I can't believe these polls. No way in hell, Hillary can be doing this well!
Something must be amiss. The press hates Sanders. He has less name recognition. They would be stupid to support Hillary.
It just can't frickin be that Hillary polls this well!

(751 posts)68% didn't answer or had no opinion on Sanders. This was in comparison to 6% for Hillary.
