Poll: Hispanics not sure about Bush for 2004

? Hispanics tend to identify more with Democrats and generally favor them on domestic issues, but many haven’t decided what they think of President Bush and lean toward his position on tax cuts and school vouchers, says a new poll.

The CBS-New York Times poll suggested Hispanics would tilt toward a Democratic candidate in the 2004 presidential race, but many remain undecided.

When Hispanic registered voters were asked whether they would vote for Bush or a Democratic candidate for president, 21 percent said Bush, 31 percent said a Democrat, and 45 percent were undecided.

Hispanics were more likely than non-Hispanics to prefer tax cutting to reducing the size of the deficit. And they were more inclined to support tax-supported vouchers to send children to private schools.
