Poll: Immigration reform top issue among Latino voters

A new poll of registered Latino voters finds that 47 percent list immigration reform as the top issue Congress and the president should address. Thirty-seven percent listed the economy and jobs as the top issue. Education claimed the third spot on the roster, and health care was fourth.

The poll suggests Republicans who do not support immigration reform may have a tough time gaining votes from at least half of the rapidly growing Latino voter base. The Latino Decisions poll was based on interviews with 500 people and has a 4 percent margin of error.
