WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Seventeen percent said they were contacted by Clinton’s campaign than Trump’s 8 percent, the poll stated, adding that another 9 percent said they were contacted by both campaigns.
“Hillary Clinton has a substantial edge over Donald Trump so far when it comes to their campaigns’ respective ground games, a new Morning Consult/POLITICO exit poll of nearly 10,000 voters shows,” the poll said Tuesday.
The data also compared Clinton’s ground game with President Obama’s in 2008, when, according to the National Election Pool, 13 percent of voters said they’d heard from his campaign, while 6 percent said they had heard from Obama’s Republican rival Senator John McCain, the poll stated.
Twenty one percent of voters said they were casting their vote partly to show support for Obama, while 19 percent expressed they were doing so for opposition, the poll said, also noting that more than half the voters said it was not a factor.
Sixty nine percent said they expect Clinton to follow Obama’s footsteps if she wins compared to 20 percent who think she would take the country in a different path, the poll revealed.
