WP: Most Latinos Say Iraq War Was Wrong

[kskiska]

Survey of Voters Shows Economy, Jobs as Top Issues

An overwhelming majority of Latino voters believes the war in Iraq was not worth fighting, and a significant minority believes Hispanics have suffered a disproportionate share of the casualties, according to a new survey of Latino voters by The Washington Post, Univision and the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute.

While voters nationally divide over the wisdom of going to war in Iraq, Latinos expressed no such ambivalence: By 2 to 1, Hispanic voters believe the war was a mistake.

The survey found that nearly three in 10 Latinos believe Hispanics are disproportionately represented among the dead and wounded in Iraq compared with other racial or ethnic groups, while six in 10 disagree.

The new poll also found that Democrat John F. Kerry leads President Bush by 59 percent to 30 percent among registered Hispanic voters, virtually unchanged from a Post-Univision-Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) survey in July. Independent Ralph Nader received 1 percent.

2. Glad to hear Latinos are against the war

I remember support for the war among Latinos was 67% or some bullshit like that, but then u cant believe the polls. Still what concerns me is that Kerry support is only at 59%, id feel much better if it was in the 65%-70% percent range.

3. So many are involved in some way with the military

and people don't want to rock the boat while their family's at risk. No one likes to admit they were lied to.
