Univision’s Jorge Ramos on Latino Voters in the 2012 Presidential Race

The Takeaway

It’s getting down to the wire in Florida, with Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney neck-and-neck in the polls. The Latino vote is essential to win the Sunshine State, but it might be even more important for the general election in November. According to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, 12.2 million Latinos will vote in the 2012 presidential election, a 26 percent increase from 2008. But whether Latinos like what they’ve seen in the lead-up to the Florida primary remains to be seen. Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos has spent the past few days in Miami getting to know the Republican candidates, as well as Latino voters across the country.
