Democrat Barack Obama has a dominant lead over Republican John McCain among Hispanic voters, despite his struggle to woo the key bloc during his presidential primary campaign, a poll found Wednesday. A Gallup survey put Obama up 59 percent to 29 percent over his rival among registered Hispanic voters across the United States.
The community will likely play a pivotal role in general election swing states like Colorado, New Mexico and Florida. The poll was published as McCain made a three-day trip through Colombia and Mexico, designed to burnish his foreign policy credentials, which was also seen as an attempt to win favour among Hispanic voters in the United States.
The nation-wide Gallup survey was conducted among 4,604 Hispanic registered voters, between March 7 and June 30, with a margin of error of plus two percentage points.
