President Barack Obama continues to lead big among Latino voters, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll released Wednesday.
The poll — based on an oversample from Tuesday night’s NBC/WSJ survey — shows Obama earning the support of 67 percent of Latino voters nationwide, easily trumping Mitt Romney, who earns the support of just 23 percent.
Obama has consistently outpolled Romney among the burgeoning voting bloc, and the president’s standing among Latinos only grew stronger after his directive last month to suspend the deportation of some young illegal immigrants.
The PollTracker Average shows Obama with a comparably large lead among Latinos, an advantage he has held over Romney throughout the campaign.
