NBC makes sharp correction in Latino support for Bush, puts Kerry up in Texas http://rawstory.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=114

In a stunning turnaround, an elections manager for NBC News said news organizations overestimated President George W. Bush's support among Latino voters, downwardly revising its polled support for Bush to 40 percent from 44 percent among Hispanics, and increasing challenger John Kerry's support among Hispanics to 58 percent from 53 percent, a press release from a Hispanic thinktank reveals.

The revision doubles Kerry's margin of victory among Hispanic voters from 9 to 18 percent, and suggests that Bush did not gain sizably in Latino support from 2000 to 2004.
