Latinos in Florida are generally known to be Right leaning because of the large population of Cubans, given that the Republican Party is seen as being tougher on Castro. But even with the McCain campaign hitting Obama hard as a socialist, Latinos are breaking for Obama 55-44%. But Bush won Latinos 56-44% against Kerry in ’04, so the Obama campaign might be feeling pretty good about the state in general.
