. >> latino political activist armando navarro voted for president obama in 2008. but he will not vote for him in 2012. miss his frustration has trainingled down to the latino population at large. why? item, immigration. the president promised to make immigration reform, that is a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a priority in his first year. mr. obama has completed nearly three years in office and no path. item, unemployment. the overall u.s. unemployment rate is 9.1%. the u.s. latino unemployment rate is 11.3%. item, poverty. the overall poverty rate is 15%. the latino poverty rate is 25%. item, youth poverty. there are more latinos under 18 living in poverty than any otherth nick group. 6.1million, less than 50% of latinos back the president. that's nearly a 20-point drop from the figure in 2008, e pres question, the democrats control both the house of representatives and the senate from 2009 to early 2011 this year. why didn't president obama deliver on immigration reform both to keep his promise and to keep his latin american constituency? susan? >>
