Among these voters, Harris gets a boost because they believe she would protect abortion rights, and some have broader hopes that electing the first female president could send a strong message to the country. But she’s weighed down by a number of important factors: a dim diagnosis of America’s economy, negative views about life during President Joe Biden’s administration and a lack of familiarity with her, which has bred ambivalence and distrust.
It’s different for Trump, one of the best-known political figures on the planet. Some of these voters believe his conduct during his time in office has disqualified him in their eyes, and even some of his supporters fear he’d focus more in a second term on fighting his enemies than on governing.
Still, a majority of the 12 participants in two sessions — part of the NBC News Deciders Focus Group, produced in collaboration with Syracuse University and the research firms Engagious and Sago — are leaning toward Trump for the oldest reason in politics: It’s the economy.
Nonvoters should be cast in a pejorative light. People should be ashamed not to vote. If you don’t care enough to decide the difference between two incredibly opposite futures for the country we should collectively dump your ass in the dead center of the Atlantic Ocean. Both sides are the same, right?
A significant portion of them can’t vote because of voter suppression and the dnc is not bothering to help.
I agree, you’re right. When I see nonvoter I assume moron instead of disenfranchised. There are far more of the former than the latter.
Don’t let that commenter gaslight you. They weren’t referencing disenfranchised voters - those who can’t vote - when they wrote “Gaza would be too on-the-nose.”
