Obama's Latino Vote Share Could Be Historic - Business Insider Nov 5th 2012, 14:44 AP President Barack Obama is on track to earn a record share of the Latino vote in Tuesday's election, according to the latest and final tracking poll from the firm Latino Decisions. In the latest poll, Obama gets 73 percent of the Latino vote, outpacing Republican nominee Mitt Romney by nearly an astounding 50 points. If Latinos do vote for Obama at a 73-percent clip, that would mark the most lopsided victory among the demographic in Democratic Party history. President Bill Clinton won re-election in 1996 with 72 percent of the Latino vote.  Latino Decisions also found that 89 percent of respondents had either already voted or were planning to vote. At its predicted turnout-level findings, the firm said that Latinos could push give Obama crucial victories in the battleground states of Virginia, Florida, Colorado and Nevada. "With 11 weeks of tracking, we are headed towards a record level of Latino votes for a Democratic presidential candidate," said Matt Barreto, principal investigator for Latino Decisions, in a statement. "If Latinos turnout at the high rates we are expecting, they could deliver Nevada, Colorado, Florida and Virginia to Obama." Meanwhile, Romney is on track to earn the lowest share of the Latino vote for a Republican Party nominee since 1996 as well, when Bob Dole garnered only 21 percent of the demographic.  See why Obama thinks George W.
