when i did poll work, i met a surprising number of people who were doing their research while in line. - colin Oct 14, 14:08
I want to say I mostly agree, but I always wonder about really uninformed voters. I feel like there are more even at this point than we realize. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 13:52 2
- I also like to imagine a large number of wives still deciding whether to do what their husbands tell them to do. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 13:57
- Only about 40% of voters know that the stock market is up this year. The S&P is up 23%! -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 13:54
I agree with Mandy. Trump won, not because he persuaded many to choose him instead, but because he spoke terms that resonated with, got them to vote -- nm - landbeck Oct 14, 13:36 4
- Amanda agrees that DJT won the 2020 election? -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:36 3
  - and he won in 2016 because of James Comey. Full stop. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:37 2
    - Yes for 2016. And he lost 2020. /IF/ he wins this time, because folks voted for him that usually don’t vote. -- nm* - landbeck Oct 14, 13:38 1
      - and yes I also agree, he gained traction because he spoke to Americans deep racism and biases. - Jovian Oct 14, 13:40
8/10. There is a tremendous amount of inertia related to party. Lots of people who will never vote D or R either from historical or single issue - oblique Oct 14, 13:29 2
- It's anecdotal but sometimes it's worth the reminder - I was a Republican until Trump - Fuzzy Oct 14, 13:44 1
  - I voted mostly Republican most of my voting life but flipped between Clinton/Bush/Obama and am now solidly D since him -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 13:52
I think there is a lot of truth to that, but I also think there are people who haven't decided who they will vote for (if they vote) - ty97 Oct 14, 13:13
I think "undecided " are just lying or enjoy the attention of campaign doorknockers. Nobody can not have an opinion about him -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 14, 13:09 9
- There was an "undecided" caller on Stern a couple weeks ago. - Fuzzy Oct 14, 13:27 7
  - You vote in private, you don't have to tell anyone how you voted. -- nm - . Oct 14, 13:44 1
    - People are not smart -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 14, 13:46
  - Vote for Harris and lie to your friends. -- nm - ty97 Oct 14, 13:37
  - aka the weak. -- nm - sycor Oct 14, 13:35 1
    - and that. Exactly. -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:36
  - This undecided's family & friends, in a South African accent ripped straight out of Lethal Weapon 2: "But she's black." -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 13:35 1
    - Yeah, but she didn't use to be - so therein lies the main issue, amiright? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 14, 13:46
- This isn't a binary yes/no vote on Trump though. Perhaps some people have an opinion on him. Perhaps it's not a positive opinion. BUT, what is their - ty97 Oct 14, 13:15
I think some voters remain oblivious and only start thinking about it a week before election day, but their impact is probably within margin of error. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 13:08
(5/10 -- i think the electorate is 90% set, but also turnout could be decisive in the swing states where margins are closest) -- nm - mr mooch Oct 14, 13:06
This has been true for about 30 years in the US, maybe more -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 13:05
about 100%. -- nm - ☀️ amandachem ☀️ Oct 14, 13:05 1
- Yup -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 13:05
