Despite that

Early exit polls show Christie won roughly half of the Latino vote.

Latinos make up about 18 percent of the state’s population.

“Chris Christie has demonstrated that Republicans can win the Latino vote, something we’ve been saying now for years,” said Bob Quasius, founder and president of Cafe Con Leche Republicans. “Christie truly ‘gets it’ when it comes to Latinos, and his engagement is a model for other candidates to follow.”

Quasius said he believes many Latinos voted for Christie because of his support for pro-immigrant policies and for his efforts to reach out to Latinos.

A day before the election, Christie made several campaign stops with New Mexico Republican Gov. Susana Martinez. Last month, he surprised many when he voiced his support for legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at the state’s public colleges and universities.

and from the CNN report that she links to, at the top of my quote:

He won 49% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29. He won roughly three in 10 self-described liberals. He won 50% of the Hispanic vote. And he won roughly 20% of the African-American vote.
