It’s hard to say in the US. Quite often people hold their nose and vote, but would never say that to a pollster.
And sometimes the politicians start movements that get out of their control.
The odd thing for me this election is how many Republicans have come out for Harris.
I suppose it’s also about mobilizing voters. For example there was talk about abortion being a key issue. There’s also been some talk about Arab American voters staying home.
I agree, often we don’t realise what the key issue was until it’s done.
And also there is still major misinformation going on- I heard 30% believe there was election tampering. Few are aware of the good economic record Biden had.
I think a difficult concept for NZ voters are things that political tribes say as articles of faith- something clearly wrong, but to belong to their particular group they have to believe it, but probably deep down know is bs. That seems more prevalent in the US.
