According to a press release issued by the William C. Velasquez Institute, NBC News has admitted its exit poll showing that 44% of Hispanics voted for Bush was incorrect:

In a stunning admission, an elections manager for NBC News said national news organizations overestimated President George W. Bush’s support among Latino voters, downwardly revising its estimated support for President Bush to 40 percent from 44 percent among Hispanics, and increasing challenger John Kerry’s support among Hispanics to 58 percent from 53 percent. The revision doubles Kerry’s margin of victory among Hispanic voters from 9 to 18 percent. Ana Maria Arumi, the NBC elections manager also revised NBC’s estimate for Hispanic support for Bush in Texas, revising a reported 18-point lead for Bush to a 2-point win for Kerry among Hispanics, a remarkable 20-point turnaround from figures reported on election night.

This follows a similar correction by AP regarding the results in Texas.

Kudos to NBC and AP for acknowledging what Steve Sailer and the Houston Chronicle pointed out weeks ago. Still waiting for corrections from other MSM organizations who publicized the incorrect 44% figure.

Unfortunately, not everyone is happy to see the record corrected.
