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.
How the fuck has everyone forgotten how miserable 2019 and 2020 were? Now the economy is booming and then want to go back to that?
I don’t care what the economy is doing when my pay goes down every year. I’m voting for Kamala, though. It’ll be worse under Trump, and so will a myriad, of other things like Ukraine, NATO, and civility within this country.
Like who the fuck lived from 2016 through 2020 and thinks that that was anything other than a clusterfuck and wants to return to that again?
It’s not the economy. If it was, they wouldn’t be considering the guy who wants to throw tariffs around willy-nilly. It’s one of the other things. You know, those things.
This assumes they understand what tariffs do to an economy. And considering they sat out 2020 they probably aren’t too well-read.

No mention of Gaza? Seriously?
Gaza isn’t much of a topic outside of lemmy, far left, and some young people.
If Trump was president right now doing the exact same thing, liberals would be all about it. Since it’s team blue, causing the death and providing the weapons for murder, it’s okay. It’s a non issue.
Undecided voters don’t give a shit about Gaza. They couldn’t even tell you what continent Gaza is on.
You’re literally saying that Palestinian and Muslim voters have no idea where Gaza is?
