And it’s partly because they're failing to pick up a lot of those angry voters.Thursday, October 23, 2008 It’s the issue both presidential candidates have largely ignored as they court the nation’s growing Hispanic population, but one-out-of-four U.S. voters (26%) is still angry about the current immigration situation.
