Latinos leaning more Democratic
Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 12:02AM 
WSJ story saying that Hispanics who registered to vote since the last midterm are significantly less likely to vote GOP than those who registered 4 years earlier.
The fastest-growing bloc of voters in the country is trending Dem.
GOP affiliation fell from a bit from 23% to 19%, while the Dem share rose from 50% to 58%. Fewer independents.
The driver is no mystery: anti-immigrant fervor is more identified with the GOP.
The good news for Dems is somewhat balanced by the new non-Latino voters, who favor the Dems over the GOP by a lesser margin (41% to 34%).

Well, it's a larger "duh" as most Catholics historically do lean Democrat on social issues and many were Democrats prior to the Conservative revolution that fused social conservatism into the GOP. So it just seems that the cycle that Italians and Irish began, now returns with the Latin Americans.
