Charlotte Observer: How swing voters could swing – to Trump

  • May 27, 2016
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

David Lightman of The Charlotte Observer cited a PPI survey in his article on general election swing voters.

One survey in battlegrounds Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Ohio finds that swing voters are 21 percent of the electorate and voted for different parties in the last two elections, 2012 and 2014.

They largely call themselves independents (84 percent), have less college education than the broader electorate and include fewer African-Americans, the same percentage of Latinos and fewer liberals, according to the poll for the Progressive Policy Institute, a moderate Democratic-leaning research group. They are mostly concerned about the economy, and are more concerned with growth than fairness.”
