Newsweek: Latinos back Clinton over Obama?

According to Newsweek, it's a fight for Latinos within the Democratic party.
"Given the sometimes caustic rhetoric by Republicans on the illegal-immigration issue, the Latino vote has become more strongly Democratic in the past few years, according to polls."
"A just-released Los Angeles Times poll (with an admittedly small Latino sample) showed that California Hispanics supported Clinton over Obama by 61 percent to 19 percent."
My comments: A survey said Obama was going to win New Hampshire as well. Supporters of Obama tend to be younger than those of Clinton. Latinos tend to be younger than the population as a whole. I'll wait to see how Latinos actually perform at the polls. Newsweek tops the story with only the L.A. Times study as a point of reference to support the thesis that Latinos favor Clinton - "(with an admittedly small Latino sample)."
