The survey also reveals that heading into the 2012\u00a0presidential campaign, Obama and the Democratic Party continue to enjoy strong\u00a0support from Latino registered voters, despite a decline in Obama\u2019s job\u00a0approval rating.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/old-assets\/publications\/2158-3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deportations have reached record levels under President Obama, rising to an annual average of nearly 400,000 since 2009, about 30% higher than annual average during the second term of the Bush administration and about double the annual average during George W. Bush&#8217;s first term.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all Latinos are aware that the Obama administration has stepped up deportations of unauthorized immigrants. A plurality (41%) of Latinos say that the Obama administration is deporting more unauthorized immigrants than the Bush administration. Slightly more than a third (36%) say the two administrations have deported about the same number of immigrants. And one-in-ten (10%) Latinos say the Obama administration has deported fewer unauthorized immigrants than the Bush administration.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p
