Does Hispanic growth equal influence?

Associated Press - May 1, 2008 12:15 AM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - Census figures show the number of Hispanics in the U.S. rose by 1.4 million over a year's time -- to 45.5 million as of July.

The top ten states that saw the growth rates in their populations were in the Southeast.

South Carolina topped the list with an 8.7% increase.

For the second consecutive year, Texas accounted for more of the gains in the numbers of Hispanics than California.

The Texas share was about 21.2% of the additional Hispanics in 2007, while California's share was 18.5%.

But a review finds California still leads in total number of Hispanics with 13.2 million, compared to 8.6 million in Texas.

Some advocacy groups predict about ten million Hispanics will show up at the polls in November -- during this presidential election year.
