the nascar fan tends to be white men.the way this whole presidential race feels like a nascar race and the candidates just go around in circles without making any progress. elections are a simple concept whoever gets the most votes wins. there are two basic strategies appeal to the most voters or two, prevent those who disagree with you from casting their votes. a new report out shows just how effective republicans have been in blocking hispanic voters. the study calculates that new voting laws could stop 10 million eligible latinos from voting. joining me now is penda hair, co-director of the advancement project, and congress woman loretta sanchez from california. thank you both for your time tonight. penda, 10 million votes at risk. when we remember 2000 when literally the race hinged on a handful of votes. explain how you have come to this number. >> what we noticed around the country was we work in a number of different states to try to open up access to the ballot box, and we notice there are new strategies this year

the nascar post season is officially here. the five time sprint cup champion jimmy johnson will be in studio that's ahead unless breaking news changes everything on studio b. >> first from fox at 3:00 early polling from the democratic national convention the campaign karl cameron has the case. gallup's daily tracking poll gives the president a 4 point advantage. rasmussen puts him within 5 points which is within the margin of error. the biggest lead in four months. the convention numbers are often short lived and the romney campaign poster calls it a sugar high. the president has the fundraising edge last month pulling in more money than the republican rival for the first time since april. governor romney maz mohas more overall. we are on the road with the romney campaign. democrats are still way behind in terms of overall cash but it was a good month last month for the president. >> it was. a looks like the president got more than just a bump in the polls since the selection of paul ryan and the republican national convention

obama's pulled ahead among nascar voters. that's in two weeks.ks ago they were tied, and now obama is up 7%. it's interesting. >> i mean, that zogby poll sounds interesting, they polled 800 people. it's a little small. usually around 2,000, 3,000 people. one of the things that we see is democrats are always fighting for the white male. the blue collar white male vote. let's show a bunch of people of people doing cultural things to get those white men either hunting or drinking a beer. there's george bush eating corn with the folks. john kerry out hunting looking a little crazy but he's trying to get that working class vote. >> as i said, nascar, don't underestimate. it's 40% women and 20% minorities. >> s.e., to your point about conservation. i ran in a rural district in virginia, and the land and water very much a part of the culture there. it's a conservative district. we found exactly what you're talking about. a sort of progressive message on environmentalism was very -- it was very well received in the district and even the republican member

romney is losing the nascar base, the nascar base. obama leads romney 49-42 among nascar enthusiasts, according to the new zogby poll. can you explain that? >> because thurston howell doesn't drive a car. it's that simple. nascar is a down home sport. elitism is not tolerated. its roots go to rural america and rural america -- look where i'm from, hillbillies, hillbilly land. i told many people we're ego maniacs with inferiority complex. we tell people we're great but in our hearts we may not believe it. elitism, that's what it's about. who can feel anything in common with mitt romney? and, i mean, he just doesn't connect with that world. as far as any marketing that they're trying to do in nascar, it's a waste of time. >> now, steve, is that the problem, the feeling of elitism? he is not the kind of cozy, likeable guy, and then on top of it, his posture and his policy smacks of elitism across the board to a lot of americans that don't usually agree on a lot of politics? >> yeah. i mean, we've seen evidence of this already this year.

nascar fans and sportsmen, s.e. is a sportswoman. you have info. want to hear it. >> there are misconceptions about sportsmen, hters a anglers, blood-thirsty hicks that pull the lever. this is a voting bloc democrats shouldn't take for granted because they're incredibly interested in conservation. an ieresting poll from the nationalilifeedio d g hunters and anglers 47%, almost half value conservation issues as the same level of importance as gun rights. you can believe 13% put gun rights below conservation rts. erand fishers are land conservationists, they want sustainable waterways and populations protected. it's an interesting sort of breakdown if democrats wanted to look at sportsmen. the other group, nascar voters, i wrote a the lot about them in 2008. th're actually not as pol larized and republican as you think. in 2008 when i was doing research, they positive broke down at 35% republican, 28% democrat, 40% women and 20% minorities. actually, we have some recent data and some good news for democrat obs ed ahead among nascar voters. at's in tw
