-According to Pew Hispanic Center research, registered Hispanics prefer presidential candidate, Barack Obama over John McCain 66% to 23% in the upcoming election.

However, the majority of Hispanics (53%) say that his race is not an issue when choosing to vote for him. 76% of Hispanics consider Obama to be a favorable candidate while only 44% consider McCain a favorable candidate (and 27% consider President Bush favorable). http://hispanicad.com/cgi-bin/news/newsarticle.cgi?article_id=24912 For more on Latino voting statistics see: http://hispanicad.com/cgi-bin/news/newsarticle.cgi?article_id=24913
