Politics and Current
The survey shows that many voters are undecided between Trump and Biden
A survey conducted amongst 1,000 potential voters indicates that there are many undecided voters within the upcoming presidential elections. It also indicates that Black support for Biden, which has dogged him through much of the campaign cycle so far, is declining.
As we reported, the poll, conducted jointly by USA Today and Suffolk University, has a 3% error in each directions, but it surely revealed that while Trump lost support amongst various demographic groups, Biden gained support. This has resulted in them being virtually tied with one another just 4 months before what David Paleologos, director of the University of Suffolk Center for Political Research, described as the brink election.
“When we think about a tie in a race with just 26 weeks left, we have to take into account that people don’t pay attention to politics and party conventions in July and August,” Paleologos told USA Today. “That leaves candidates with just 17 weeks to actively campaign, and it’s actually 13 or 14 weeks if you consider states where early voting begins a few weeks before Election Day. We are basically one step away from an election, and the outcome is a coin toss.”
Among those that have indicated a preference for third-party candidates, corresponding to Princeton professor Cornel West, who’s running as Green Party independent candidate Jill Stein, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., voters are malleable; 80% of Kennedy supporters, 88% of West supporters, 56% of Stein supporters, and 65% of respondents who planned to support a possible Libertarian candidate indicated that they remained open to changing their vote. Third-party voices are inclined to receive more attention in closely contested competitions, where their impact is most felt.
Young voters indicate that although they support Palestine more often than others, most young voters cite other concerns. Devon Schwartz, a student on the University of Texas at Austin, told the web site that their positions on Gaza are too just like raise concerns about his vote.
“When you have two presidents who have the same position on one issue, you automatically put that issue – I don’t want to say lower on the list because it’s obviously an important issue, but that doesn’t mean it’s an issue where I’m elected.” Donald Trump as an alternative of Joe Biden.” Schwartz still plans to vote for Biden, but notes that Biden needs to regulate his policies. “I want to see policy changes from Joe Biden,” he said. “I don’t want to vote for Donald Trump and then see the exact same policies.”
Cameron Driggers, a 19-year-old University of Florida student and member of the Florida Democratic Party youth council, told the web site that while he realizes Trump will likely be worse in all facets than Biden, Driggers worries that Biden is near crossing hard lines some.
“We are hearing from many people who are increasingly apathetic about voting for Joe Biden. “It continues to essentially spit in the face of youth organizers across the country,” he said. “It’s especially upsetting to people who are casting votes. “I realize that Trump will almost certainly be worse than Biden on all of these issues,” Driggers said. “But at some point, you know, there has to be a line” for Biden. “And I think he’s close to exceeding that.”
