More than two-thirds of Hispanic voters would cast their ballots for Barack Obama if the presidential elections were held now, while fewer than a quarter would opt for Republican Mitt Romney

The political figure who garners the most support among Hispanics is Michelle Obama with a 69% favorable rating, quite a bit higher than Ann Romney, the wife of the Republican candidate, who has just a 20% approval rating among the Latino electorate. Sixty-four percent of Hispanics say that they prefer a Congress with a Democratic majority compared with just 24% who are in favor of Republican control of the legislative branch.
