the issue aren't those two groups of people. The issue is the third. Those who weren't going to vote before, which is usually around 30% to 60% of the country.

Now, of those who weren't going to bother to vote, about 55% to 70% of them would vote for a Democratic president.

However, the 30% to 45% of those remaining - those are the ones who will be most likely 'energised' by this and convinced to vote. That extra turn out could turn it into a Republican landslide.
