Obama conduce Romney tra gli appassionati di NASCAR: Sondaggio

Mitt Romney’s recent slide in several polls, including those in the battleground states of Ohio, Virginia and Florida, is troubling enough for the GOP. Ma, now the Republican nominee appears to be trailing President Barack Obama among a traditionally conservative constituency: NASCAR fans.

Obama leads Romney 49 a 42 percent among NASCAR enthusiasts, secondo a new Zogby poll da JZ Analytics.

As the liberal blog PoliticusUSA.com pointed out, Romney was booed at the Daytona 500 in February during a campaign trip ahead of Super Tuesday.

Per il New York Times:

The crowd initially booed Mr. Romney, who occasionally struck a discordant note, as when he approached a group of fans wearing plastic ponchos. “I like those fancy raincoats you bought,” ha detto. “Really sprung for the big bucks.” And when asked if he was a fan of the sport, he mentioned that “I have some great friends who are Nascar team owners.”

NASCAR fans, anche se, have been known to boo politicians. Last fall, first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, were booed when they served as grand marshals at a race in Miami.

The online poll of 860 likely voters conducted on Sept. 21 e 22 also found that Obama leads Romney 54 a 40 percent among military families.

Among Catholics, the president’s edge—46 to 44 percent—is within the poll’s 3.4 percent margin of error. But among voters who “never attend a place of worship,” Obama’s lead over Romney is 63 a 26 per cento.
