If there is hope, it must lie in the (Hispanic, Spanish-speaking, cell-phone only) proles.

If the pollsters have been undercounting Latino voters... then this could be right. Also, if Joe Biden got some positive effects by casting doubts upon GOP credibility on Medicare and Social Security... Romney offered a something-for-nothing deal as an alternative.

If this poll indicates a trend, then President Obama isn't going to lose Colorado or Nevada.

You guys are hillarious.  Arizona is not even close, let alone Obama up.  It's bad enough you guys think you are up in NC or FL, even though your guy has pulled out (NC) or is slowly pulling out (FL). 

Comedy gold. 

That pollster (Rocky Mountain)  says things that other pollsters have yet to say.

If you were a Mexican-American living in Arizona, would you have any use for the right-wing pols who have pushed humiliating legislation against people who happen to be a bit off-white? Having an icon of the Virgin of the Virgin of Guadalupe does not imply 'illegal alien'.

Could it also be that the incumbent VP just body-slammed the Republican VP nominee on Social Security and Medicare? Such would have no connection to ethnicity except that the white population is decidedly older than the Hispanic population in Arizona. Could it be that right-wing demagogue Jan Brewer is becoming politically toxic?

I can say nothing about that. But here we have a pollster who allows people to choose to respond to complete strangers (actually a synthesized voice) in Spanish. Such is significant.

Ethnic animosity of Anglo populations toward Mexican-Americans in Arizona has never been as severe as that of whites toward blacks. People in mass employers in Arizona surely have Hispanic co-workers. Large families of Anglo origin might have a beloved in-law who is a Mexican-American.
