Ted Wade hasn't cared about politics enough to cast a vote in a U.S. presidential election for almost a quarter of a century, back when he supported Ross Perot's independent candidacy in 1992.
But Republican Donald Trump's 2016 White House bid has motivated Wade to get involved and he plans to support the real estate mogul in Nevada's nominating caucus next month. Trump is a "non-politician" who can fix the "chaos" in Washington, he says.
About one in 10 Americans who plan to cast a vote this election will do so for the first time in years, if ever, and Trump holds a decided edge with them, according to polling by Reuters/Ipsos.
These voters offer Trump a pool of voters who could be decisive either in the Republican primaries or a general election. They could be crucial for Trump in early-voting states such as Iowa and South Carolina, where his nearest rival, Senator Ted Cruz, is putting pressure on Trump and enjoys a strong base of support with more traditionally conservative voters.
In Reuters/Ipsos polling from June to December 2015, 27.3 percent of these "new" voters said they would vote for Trump, higher than his poll numbers among independents and Republicans who regularly vote.
By way of comparison, Cruz captures just 3.4 percent of these voters. And Senator Marco Rubio of Florida snags only 4 percent.

Go Trump!!
Way To Go TRUMP!!! He is going to ‘landslide’ this election....
One heck of a fine President of the United States of America and such a beautiful and classy family to show the world the standards that America can be proud of!!!
A Trump bump indeed.
Another note:
Heard on CNN(don’t watch faux news anymore)
That Trump is leading the nation by 2 points over Cruz
with Evangelicals.
That is pretty impressive if true too.
That’s right mr wade, the dog days are over
Trump will build a physical wall on the border and a legal wall in our visa system. Stop the invasion of muzzie rapists, killers, looters and vandals.
Well unfortunately it looks like I got a case of Cruzitis, which unfortunately causes a poster to repeatedly post multiple threads positive to their candidate.
Yes, go Trump! Destroy conservatives and conservative values.
Make Yuge Deals!!!
Well good. Since Obama has thrown more people into the living off the Government dole, we need some candidate to pick them up. Trump is their guy.
*****************
Trump can take a little hip pocket walking around money and help those no-names get out of debt.
Reckoned?
It’s interesting to watch. My husband who hasn’t voted for a President since JFK has consistently over the years said he earned the right to not vote. I try every election to get him interested.
Now he’s gone from laughing at me to watching the debates and stopping to watch every time I am watching a rally. He even watched the Democratic debate last night. I don’t know if he will finally register to vote but now he does support Trump over all the rest.
Or they can work it off at one of his many fine establishments as bell hops.
If Iowa is your firewall, you are toast.
