2008 National Survey of Latinos

Latinos' confidence in the U.S. criminal justice system is closer to the relatively low levels expressed by blacks than to the higher levels expressed by whites.

Half (50%) of all Latinos say that the situation of Latinos in this country is worse now than it was a year ago.

Hispanic registered voters support Democrat Barack Obama for president over Republican John McCain by 66% to 23%, according to a nationwide survey of 2,015 Latinos.

The survey focused on the 2008 presidential election; attitudes regarding immigration and enforcement; remittance behavior; crime and the criminal justice system and media use.
