That’s right, according to a Quinnipiac University poll, sixty percent of Latinos in NYC oppose efforts to build a Mosque near the World Trade Center site. That’s more than the 56 percent among whites and 45 percent among blacks who are opposed to the Mosque and cultural center.
According to the study: Fifty-six percent of New York City voters, including 58 percent of whites, 50 percent of blacks and 48 percent of Hispanics, say they personally know a Muslim. A total of 52 percent say they understand Islam “very well” or “fairly well,” while 45 percent say “not very well.”
From June 21 – 28, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,183 New York City registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.
