Birmingham, AL - September 3, 2015 - (Newswire.com) Donald Trump is currently an overwhelming favorite to be the next President of the United States according to a recent preference poll of 1,572 NASCAR fans.

Rounding out the Top 5 were Ben Carson at 7.0%, Bernie Sanders at 4.1% and Jeb Bush at 3.4%.
The poll, conducted August 29-31, 2015 by RacingUSA.com, had a 2.5% margin of error at a 95% confidence level.
Republicans favored Trump 50.8%; Carson 9.7%; and Bush 5.5%; with Rubio and Cruz tied for fourth at 4.0% each.

David Carrington, president of RacingUSA.com and an elected county commissioner in Jefferson County, Alabama, commented, “It’s obvious that Mr. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” theme is resonating with NASCAR fans, who collectively are some of the most patriotic voters in the United States.”
Carrington continued, “Not only did Trump do well with Republicans at 50.8%, he also showed strength with Independents at 49.0% and Democrats at 19.8%. If Trump is not the Republican nominee, this poll indicates that he has enough support, at least among NASCAR fans, to run a viable campaign as an Independent.”
