And another thing...

If, as you say, "Hispanics overwhelmingly self identify as democrats" then why was this poll even conducted?

What was the point in pointing out what everybody already knew?

Polling 101: Weighting the Sample
Weighting can also be a handy way for news outlets to craft or fashion their own stories as well. Weighting with the intention of achieving particular results is an often charged but never provable offense, and it certainly makes dissecting polls on blogs fun and interesting. It is a low risk/high reward activity if networks or other pollsters were to engage in it, however: 99% of people out there will only ever hear or pay attention to the topline results and never dig deeper to find out more… in fact, it would be my guess that an overwhelming majority have absolutely no idea what weighting or Party ID splits even are when it comes to the polls they are digesting.

Fox News Latino?!

What is the point of your question? Polls are taken all the time for candidates, issues, demographics. I know your question was rhetorical, but I answered it anyway.
