Percentage of people who are eligible to vote but aren’t likely to do so who back President Obama’s re-election over Mitt Romney, according to a nationwide USA Today/Suffolk University Poll. “Two-thirds of them say they are registered to vote. Eight in 10 say the government plays an important role in their lives. Even so, they cite a range of reasons for declaring they won’t vote or saying the odds are no better than 50-50 that they will: They’re too busy. They aren’t excited about either candidate. Their vote doesn’t count.”
