According to a new Gallup poll, 52 percent of Hispanics think that Obama is doing a good job, versus 74 percent of Hispanics directly following the President’s reelection in 2012....

Since Obama first took office in 2009, his approval rating among Hispanic voters has averaged 13 points above the national average. Part of the reason for this higher approval rating is that Hispanics tend to identify with the Democratic Party.
From January to August of this year, 49 percent of Hispanics claimed to be Democrats or leaning toward the Democratic Party, compared to 22 percent of Hispanics that identified with the Republican Party.
