Uhhhh...What?

The Wheels Fall Off for Romney as Obama Leads with NASCAR Fans, 48%-41%

According to a new Zogby Poll the wheels are close to coming off the Romney campaign. President Obama leads Mitt Romney among NASCAR fans, 48%-41%.

The Zogby poll revealed that President Obama has a seven point lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, 48%-41%, and even larger nine point lead when all candidates are included, 49%-40%. The real shocker is that the poll found the president doing very well with some traditionally thought of Republican voting blocs.

Obama leads in almost every region of the country, and only trailed Romney by six points in the South, 41%-47%. Among voters who shop at Wal-Mart on a weekly basis, Romney’s lead is within the poll’s 3.4% margin of error, 45%-42%. Obama leads with voters who are or who have a family member in the military, 54%-39%. Most surprisingly, Obama only trails Romney by seven points with those who consider themselves born again Christians, 40%-47%. The president also leads with NASCAR fans, 48%-41%.

They are part of a group that's been the hardest hit in the current economic climate. I'm a NASCAR fan and my family is a blue collar union family. Most of us know who's to blame for the mess we're in and it's not the President. I can only speak for my family when I say that we would vote for President Obama if he was a purple, green or blue man. The fact that he's a black man makes absolutely no difference to us. I suspect that other families just like ours would agree.
