Pollster John Zogby: Obama Voters Are Crossing Over to Trump
NewsMax ^ | August 22, 2016 | Jason Devaney

A group of voters that once supported President George W. Bush before defecting to back President Barack Obama is once again switching sides and getting behind Donald Trump, pollster John Zogby told Newsmax TV Monday.

During an interview on "Newsmax Prime," Zogby told host J.D. Hayworth the race for the White House is "very, very close."

"What's very interesting here is that initially, weekly Wal-Mart shoppers who we have been tracking for a decade and a half now, and NASCAR fans, they were solidly with George W. Bush," said Zogby, whose most recent poll has Democrat Hillary Clinton leading Trump by 2 points.

"And then their demographics actually changed in the last seven or eight years following the recession. They were solidly with Barack Obama in 2008 and in 2012. They're swinging back now, back over to Donald Trump."(continued)

Clinton is spending millions on ad's and is not pulling ahead of Trump. This bodes very well for Trump who will start spending his money in Oct.

Do you remember years ago when 'the press' hated Walmart? The reason was Walmart would move into a small community, out-compete the "mom and pops' and then NOT advertise in the local newspaper.

It was personal.

Walmart figured it out, started helping small 'mom and pops' AND started advertising (ads they didn't need) in local papers to keep the press happy.

A side problem the press and DC insiders have with Trump (one of millions of problems the elites have with him cutting into their life style) is that Trump is doing his campaign 'on the cheap'. Fewer newspaper ads, fewer TV ads and MUCH less money for political PR firms.

It's personal. Even The New York Times knows ...

Trump and the RNC should start some BIG buys in September at the latest...Yes, it's good that Trump's changing the system... but he doesn't have to do everything at the same time.

That’s funny.

With millions sure to participate in early voting in many states, he better spend well before then.

Make sure you let him know, gdani!

The GOP has traditionally waited until the end of the race to start spending huge amounts of money on the ads.

They know that most people aren't paying attention until the election draws closer.

If the Democrat doesn't have a huge gap by that time, expect a landslide for the GOP.

I am sure he will start spending long before early voting begins.

Don't panic.

The NASCAR bit doesn’t seem right, but other than that I actually know several people who fit this pattern. They voted for Bush, then Obama, and now Trump. They are middle of the road types, more educated than one would expect but not ideological, not religious, the sort of people who instinctively gravitate toward the candidate who seems most sensible. They went for Bush because Dukakis and Kerry came across as snooty liberals, but they refused to back McCain because of Palin and Romney because he came across as elitist and also maybe because they didn’t quite trust a Mormon.

Most exciting election ever! (OK, at least in my short life of 75 years).

**weekly Wal-Mart shoppers who we have been tracking for a decade and a half now**

You mean this demographic:

The pollsters are missing it. Half of the eligible population does not vote. Voter enthusiasm will be the driving force of this election. Hillary supporters have none. Trump supporters have a lot. Trump is also attracting more people who would ordinarily fall into the never vote category.

I don’t know/ don’t want to know, any of those types.

If Trump's campaign team hasn't figured out the impact of early voting on campaign spending, they need fired.

Guess they realized they didn’t have it so bad under the terrible Bush years.

Well, you've got the link to his website, so pass all this sage advice along...
