Those who sat out 2016 back Democrats for president by 2-to-1 margin

Boosting turnout this November among registered voters who didn’t vote in 2016 could spell trouble for President Donald Trump in key battleground states, according to a new UW-Madison poll. “For Trump, I think it’s holding onto that vote, and not losing anybody to stay competitive, whereas the Democrats are probably looking for additional voters to turn up,” said Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center. “Without them, the Democrats look to be just competitive, maybe at a slight disadvantage.”
