http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2012/11/08/president-obama-and-the-white-vote-no-problem/

So I noticed that it is widely assumed that the 2016 electorate will be 70% white, 2% lower than 2012, yet Quinnipiac is assuming 74% white for this poll. Also, Hispanics are assumed to be 7%, lower than they were in 2012?? I can understand perhaps Black enthusiasm may dip, but with Trump, and Hillary fighting for citizenship, I think the Latino vote continues to make a bigger part of the pie. Yet despite all of that, she leads them all Smiley

Such demographics would suggest something closer to a "primaries-voters" or "2010/2014" model of questionable applicability to 2016. Democrats typically rely upon turning out not-so-likely voters out at the voting place, while Republicans seek to dampen the desires of non-Republicans as voters.

With what Trump and Bush have said about Asians and Latinos, I can expect those two minorities not only to go out and vote, but also participate in canvassing for votes. Door-to-door canvassing works in campaigns.
