Quote from pspr:
I also think the number you are quoting is way off from reality.
Its acknowledged on both sides Obama won 70 % of the Hispanic vote. Cuban Latinos don't vote as much for dems as Mexicans and PR's do.In states that have a lot of Mexican Latinos its around 80 %

Obama won 77 percent of New Mexico's Hispanic vote
SANTA FE â A poll released Friday by a national Latino research organization said President Obama captured 77 percent of the Hispanic vote in New Mexico, a powerhouse showing that enabled him to carry the state.
The same percentage of Hispanics voted for U.S. Sen.-elect Martin Heinrich, also a Democrat, according to the election-eve poll by Research for Latino Decisions. The company calls itself the country's leading Latino opinion research firm.
Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney in New Mexico by 9 percentage points. Heinrich's margin over Republican Heather Wilson, a former congresswoman from Albuquerque, was 5 points.
Perhaps most significant, the poll found that Obama's dominance among Hispanic voters was the largest in the recorded history of New Mexico presidential politics, said Gabe Sanchez, director of research for Latino Decisions and an associate professor of political science at the University of New Mexico. Sanchez said the previous mark was a 72-percent showing by Democrat Bill Clinton in 1996.
Obama had a 77-21 margin over Romney, according to the poll. Heinrich also received 77 percent of the Hispanic vote compared with 22 percent for Wilson, the poll said.
"We think that's a pretty eye-popping number," Sanchez said in a conference call with reporters.
Hispanics make up 40 percent of the electorate in New Mexico. The huge margins they gave to Obama and Heinrich carried each to victory, Sanchez said.

"The effect was at least as dramatic in swing states, most notably in Colorado, which Obama won on Tuesday. There Latinos went for the president by an astounding 87-10 margin, an edge not far from the near-monolithic support he received from African American voters. In Ohio, with a smaller but still significant Latino population, Obama won by an 82-17 margin."
