Hispanic Approval of Obama Increased This Month

In light of Obama's new push on immigration legislation, earlier this month I blogged on Hispanic support of the President.

It appeared there had been a drop in his approval ratings in May and June, possibly as a result of his reaction to the Arizona immigration law. I speculated if his stepped up commitment to immigration reform over the last month would find favor with Hispanics.

It seems Obama's increased attention to immigration over the last month may have paid off. While overall support for the President has dropped, Hispanic support of the President has seen a slight bump from 59 to 63%. For the first time in three months Obama is regaining not losing Hispanic supporters.

We'll have Obama's full approval numbers out tomorrow.
