#1 Hispanics greatly favored Democrats over Republicans, particularly among Hispanics under age 40.

There will be a big push for either amnesty & citizenship or voting rights for illegals; the Dems. will need the votes badly by 2012.

The survey oversampled Hispanics to increase accuracy.

#4 "Can someone please explain this statement?"

Sure, mom - let me translate that for you:

"The survey oversampled Hispanics to ~~increase accuracy~~ skew their sample to the DemoncRats; we didn't think we could get away with skewing everyone."

#5 Given a sampling size of 1000 (3% margin of error, 95% confidence) with 15% Hispanics. The subsample of 150 Hispanics would give an error margin of 8%. To reduce this error margin, the numbers of hispanics sampled is increased when reporting the hispanic only answers in the sample and then normalized back to 150 when reporting as a poll of the general US population.
