Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“Obama-Trump voters in these states [Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin] mostly resemble Republicans: They largely approve of the president’s job performance, and when it comes time to cast their votes for federal office, they tend to prioritize security issues such as border security, terrorism and foreign policy. ...

The voters who backed Obama in 2012 and stayed home in 2016 — hereafter referred to as ‘Obama-nonvoters’ — make up a smaller, albeit consequential slice of the electorate in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, representing 4 percent of the sample in each of those states. And on paper, at least, they appear to be low-hanging electoral fruit.

These Obama-nonvoters look more like Democrats, with at least 70 percent of them disapproving of Trump’s job performance. They also prioritize health care and the economy over security issues. “
