GOP Rhetoric Hurting Party Among Latinos

GOP pollster Whit Ayres told the Christian Science Monitor the "tone" of the immigration debate has damaged the image of the Republican party among Latino voters.

Said Ayres: "It is pretty obvious that we can't continue to lose Latinos two to one as we did in 2008 and remain competitive as a national party. If we don't do better among Latinos, we are not going to be talking about how to get back Florida in the presidential race, we are going to be talking about how not to lose Texas."

A Fox News Latino poll released this week found that Latino voters favor Obama by six-to-one over any of his possible Republican presidential challengers.
