THE DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGN MUST USE THE OLD FASHIONED METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF PRINTED LEAFLETS TO REACH THE DISAFFECTED VOTER WHO DOES NOT TRADITIONALLY VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICANS AND EXPLAIN DONALD TRUMP'S POSITIONS.
The opposition is very good at it but they do not have the numbers we do. LETS MOBILIZE!!
LEAFLET CAMPAIGNS HAVE BEEN USED IN OUR COUNTRY IN THE PAST TO BYPASS THE BIASED MEDIA!

ITS BEING DONE ALL AROUND THE WORLD..
Shown below are the facts about how people who vote get
their information.
The U.S. turnout in the 2012 presidential election which was 53.6%, based on 129.1 million votes cast and an estimated voting-age population of just under 241 million people.
I realize that on social media that we the “political preachers” are preaching to the political choir of our kind of people! Some choirs are bigger than others!
To win we have to start preaching in other people's churches ( metaphorical! ) The public square. Main Street America.
We have to use fliers and leaflets that are printed on copy machines across the country .. in offices we own or work at.. (so there is no extra cost to the Trump Campaign)
Then we must be bold and march out across the country and hand them out at flea markets, supermarkets, churches, colleges, train stations, subway stations, malls anywhere where cross sections of people move through or congregate!
We the Trump Army must be ready to mobilize in cities across the USA.. and change the minds of those who do not hear the real message.
WE MUST NEUTRALIZE THE LEFTIST PRO HILLARY MEDIA THAT IS TRYING TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE.
WE ASK THE DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGN TO JUST PROVIDE THE WEEKLY OR DAILY MESSAGE ON A ONE PAGE PDF SO WE CAN PRINT AND DISSEMINATE THE MESSAGE ACROSS AMERICA.
SHARE THIS CALL. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND SO SHOULD YOU!

About nine-in-ten Americans learn about the election in a given week, but they are divided over the most helpful type of source
News
and information about the contentious 2016 presidential election is
permeating the American public, according to a new survey of 3,760 U.S.
adults by Pew Research Center. About nine-in-ten U.S. adults (91%)
learned about the election in the past week from at least one of 11
types of sources asked about, ranging from television to digital to
radio to print.
This is true even among younger Americans,
as 83% of 18- to 29-year-olds report learning about the presidential
election from at least one stream of information, according to the
survey conducted Jan. 12-27, 2016, using Pew Research Center’s American
Trends Panel.
This high level of learning about the 2016
presidential candidates and campaigns is consistent with recent
research that has shown strong interest in this election, even more so than at the same point in the previous two presidential elections.1
Americans are divided, though, in the type of sources they find most helpful for that news and information.
When asked if they got news and
information about the election from 11 different source types, and then
asked which they found most helpful, Americans were split: None of the
source types asked about in the survey was deemed most helpful by more
than a quarter of U.S. adults.
At the top of the list is cable news,
named as most helpful by 24% of those who learned about the election in
the past week. That is at least 10 percentage points higher than any
other source type. Our past research indicates though, that the 24% is likely divided ideologically in the specific network they watch and trust.
After cable, five source types are named
as most helpful by between 10% and 14% of those who got news about the
election: Local TV and social networking sites, each at 14%, news
websites and apps at 13%, news radio at 11% and national nightly network
television news at 10%.
In the bottom tier are five source types
named by no more than 3% of Americans who learned about the election.
This includes print versions of both local and national newspapers,
named by 3% and 2% respectively. It also includes late night comedy
shows (3%) as well as the websites, apps or emails of the candidates or
campaigns (1%) and of issue-based groups (2%).
As a platform, television and the Web –
and even radio to a lesser degree – strongly appeal to certain parts of
the public, while print sits squarely at the bottom. As many people name
late night comedy shows as most helpful as do a print newspaper.
Age, education level and political party
account for some of the differences here. Cable television’s overall
popularity is pronounced among those who are 65 and older and also among
Republicans, while social media is the clear favorite among the
youngest age group, 18- to 29-year-olds.
About four-in-ten (43%) of those 65 or
older who learned about the election in the past week say cable
television news is most helpful, 26 percentage points higher than any
other source type and much higher than any other age cohort. In fact,
only 12% of 18- to 29-year-olds who learned about the election say that
cable news is the most helpful.
Instead, about a third (35%) of 18- to
29-year-olds name a social networking site as their most helpful source
type for learning about the presidential election in the past week. This
is about twice that of the next nearest type – news websites and apps
(18%), another digital stream of information. Social media drops off
sharply for older age groups, with 15% of 30 to 49-year-olds, 5% of 50
to 64-year-olds, and just 1% of those 65 years and older saying the
same. This is consistent with our previous research, which has shown
that social media is the most prominent way that Millennials get political news, more so than any other generation.
The data also reveal the weight network
television news and local TV news still carry among those 50 or older.
Radio, though, shows consistent appeal across most age groups. Between
11% and 13% of those ages 18-29, 30-49 and 50-64 name radio as most
helpful (a figure that falls to 5% among those 65+).
The area of difference that stands out
most prominently along party lines is cable news. Republicans are almost
twice as likely to say cable news is the most helpful than are
Democrats (34% vs. 19%, and 24% among independents). Democrats are
slightly more likely to name local TV news, but the gap is much smaller
(18%, compared with 12% for both Republicans and independents).
Finally, those with a college degree are
more likely than those with some college and those with a high school
diploma or less to name radio, national papers in print, and news
websites or apps as the most helpful type of source. Those who do not
have a college degree are tied more closely to a preference for cable
and local TV news.
Beyond what is most helpful, the majority of the public learns about the election from several types of sources
Even
as U.S. adults find one type of source most helpful, the majority still
get election news in a given week from multiple different source types.
Indeed, of those who learned about the presidential election in the
past week, just 9% learned from just one stream of information. In fact,
almost half (45%) learned from five or more information streams.
Television
sources again rise to the top. About three-quarters of U.S. adults
(78%) learned about the election from at least one of the four TV-based
source types asked about. Local TV and cable news reach the greatest
percentages overall (57% and 54% respectively).
This was followed not by another
traditional platform, but instead by digital. About two-thirds (65%) of
U.S. adults learned about the 2016 election in the past week from
digital source types, which includes social networking sites and news
websites, as well as digital communication from issue-based groups and
the candidates.
Coming in last: print versions of
newspapers. Only about one-in-three (36%) U.S. adults learned about the
campaign in the past week from either a local or national newspaper in
print. The survey specifically asked about the print version of the
paper and does not include the representation of newspapers in the
digital space (48% of Americans got election news and information from
news websites or apps in past week). This is an important distinction,
as newspaper properties make up three of the top 10 digital news entities, according to comScore data compiled for our annual State of the News Media report. But it does speak to the precipitous decline of print as a mode of news – even as print-only consumers remain a key part of newspapers’ audiences.
In fact, more Americans cite radio as a
source of election information in the past week (44%) than cite a print
newspaper. And U.S. adults are roughly as likely to learn about the
presidential election from an issue-based group’s website, app, or email
(23%) or from late night comedy shows (25%) as from a national print
newspaper (23%). And they are only slightly more likely to learn from
their local print paper (29%).
While few Americans say issue-based groups
or the campaigns themselves are most helpful, their presence as a
direct source of information in the digital space comes through in these
findings. At least two-in-ten U.S. adults learn about the presidential
election directly from the websites, apps or emails of campaign and
issue-based groups.
Level of usage differed notably by
political party identification for late night comedy shows. They are a
source for three-in-ten Democrats, but only 16% of Republicans and a
quarter of independents. About a third of those ages 18-29 (34%) learned
about the campaigns and candidates from late night comedy shows, higher
than any other age group.
Another
way to understand the dynamics of these different types of sources is
by examining the portion of adults who learn from a type of source who
also find that source most helpful. While local and cable TV news are
cited at roughly the same rates overall, for example, cable news is far
more likely to be named as the most helpful source. About
four-in-ten (41%) U.S. adults who say they learned about the election
from cable TV news in the past week name it as the most helpful type of
source, while this is true of only 22% of those who got news about the
presidential election from local TV. Local TV news, then, may be a
common, but not crucial source for viewers. (This mirrors past findings
that local TV news is the single most common source of political information in the U.S.)
Sharing about the election on social networking sites is much less common than getting news there
As
we have seen in the past, getting news from social media is far more
common than sharing news on social media. About half (51%) of social
networking users learned about the presidential election from these
sites. But only about one-in-five social networking users (18%) actually
share election-related information on social media, whether by posting
about it or by replying to or commenting on a post. That amounts to 15%
of U.S. adults overall.
Those who learn from more source types are
also more likely to share news and information, as are those for whom
social media was most helpful for learning about the election. Almost
three-in-ten of social media users who learn from 5 or more source types
share something related to the presidential election on social media
(29%), compared with no more than 12% of those who learned from fewer
source types. And a third of those who name social media as their most
helpful source (33%) share news and information about the election on
these sites. Comparatively, this is true of only 20% of those who name
cable news as their most helpful source type and a mere 8% who name
local TV news.
Finally, while those with higher incomes are more likely to use social networking sites in general,
it is lower income users who are more likely to share election-related
content: About 20% of social networking users with household incomes
under $75,000, compared with 14% of those with incomes of $75,000 or
more.
Though it is common to learn about the
election on at least one social networking site, Facebook is far and
away the site where that is most likely to happen. This is not
surprising, given that Facebook is the social networking site used by the most Americans, and is an increasingly common news destination, especially for Millennials.
As we have seen before, there is also evidence that getting news from
multiple social networking platforms is common: 41% of those who learn
about the election on social media get election information from more
than one social networking site.
Likely primary voters tend to have wider mix of source types
There
are a number of ways that the election news habits of Americans who are
most likely to participate in the upcoming presidential primaries and
caucuses stand apart from those who are less likely to participate.
Overall, those who say they are very
likely to participate in their state’s primary or caucus are more likely
to learn about the election from multiple source types. Half of those
who said they are very likely to participate learned from five or more
source types, compared with 40% of those who are less likely to
participate.
Within
this mix of information streams, there are also differences between the
two groups in the source types deemed most helpful. While cable ranks
first among both groups, those who are very likely to participate show
somewhat greater tendency to name both cable (27% vs. 22%) and radio
(12% vs. 9%) as most helpful. Conversely, they have a lower tendency to
name local TV news (10% vs. 17%) and social media (11% vs. 16%) as most
helpful than those who are less likely to participate in their state’s
primary or caucus.
Even though those who say they are very
likely to participate in their state’s primary or caucus are less likely
to name social media as their most helpful source type, they seem to be
more engaged in that space: 21% share information about the election on
social media, through original posts or replies to content posted by
others, compared with 15% of those less likely to participate.
