Mitt Romney pourra-t-il convaincre les hispanophones?

L'équipe de Romney mise beaucoup sur la convention républicaine de Tampa (Floride)pour réduire l'écart qui sépare les deux candidats dans leur quête du vote des hispanophones.

 "Mitt Romney heads into his national convention lagging behind President Obama with a number of demographic groups, perhaps most notably Hispanic voters. Pivoting away from his harsh rhetoric on immigration during the primaries to something more palatable to huge — and hugely important — Hispanic voting bloc has proven impossible for Romney so far, and the Tampa convention may be his last chance to turn things around.

On Wednesday, Romney’s own campaign set the turnaround bar pretty high, saying the campaign needs to hit numbers way above his current polling. Can he do it? It’s an uphill climb, say Republicans focused on burnishing their party’s reputation with Hispanic voters — but it’s not impossible.

The PollTracker Average shows President Obama leading Romney among Hispanic voters, 60.1 percent to 30.9 percent, a vast chasm that’s remained fairly steady throughout the general election contest.

Romney’s campaign says it is banking on that number ticking up. “Our goal is to do better than four years ago … our goal is to hit 38 percent with the Hispanic vote,” Jose Fuentes, a co-chairman of the “Juntos Con Romney” team, told The Hill.
