10 undecided voters explain their decision not to vote in this election

The audiologist that voted for Trump and then Biden in 2016 and 2020: What he and his wife, Gideon, have in common

The retired audiologist voted for Trump in 2016 and then Biden in 2020. Remensnyder said she owned three doctors’ practices. She said that as a business owner she thought she could trust Trump. He was a business man, but from the beginning he wasn’t very good.

Remensnyder said she thought Harris did fairly well in the debate, but “did not answer most of the questions. The issues were skirted by her. I think she is not the best. I really, really wanted her to be my wife.

“I’m still undecided whether it’s worth it to vote for Kamala, given her not-great stance on Palestine,” Thiago said, “and given she’s reaching out more to conservatives than more-progressive members of her party.”

He saw the debate and thought Biden was too old and needed to step aside. Trump seemed to inherit that and seemed frightened by her.

Thiago said he would vote down-ballot, but that he wouldn’t vote for Harris because she isn’t saying she would cut off weapons shipments to Israel.

A registered Republican, Gideon voted for Trump in 2016, but didn’t vote for him in 2020 “because of some of the choices he made.” He didn’t specify which ones.

John is a registered independent from Nassau County, NY, and has a blue- collar background as the son of a firefighter. He considers himself a “liberal union Democrat.” He thought Bill Clinton did a good job as president, and voted for Obama twice.

He did not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 because she didn’t show up to his event, he had a personal experience with her. In 2020, he said his son, who was 5 then, essentially cast his ballot for Biden, because he wanted to vote for him.

John said he had watched a bit of the debate, but that he wasn’t following the race that much. Housing affordability, grocery prices and gas prices are his biggest concerns.

“Trump was cuckoo for saying that the dogs and cats were being eaten,” John said, “but Kamala Harris wasn’t really answering any of the questions,” especially about the economy.

John said he wants to see something put forward to “stop the inflation.” Harris has changed her stance on certain issues and John isn’t sure if he trust her.

“I think Joe Biden did the best he could,” John said. There are things through the roof if he had just grabbed the horns on inflation. … It’s gone freakin’ nuts.”

She will not re-vote for Donald J.-P. Probablu, but she will exercise her right to vote in the House of Representatives

“I would never vote for him,” Annette said of Trump. She said she was happy with the presentationHarris gave at the debate. Annette said Harris proved she’s “perfectly capable.”

Annette is a registered independent who generally votes Democratic. She was unsure about voting because she was concerned about Biden’s age and ability to do the job.

“They do not look at the whole picture,” she said of Trump supporters. “I’m sure after this second [assassination] attempt, they’ll be saying, ‘God is protecting him.’ It is a bunch of crock.

Bohlman also brought up the siege at the Capitol on Jan. 6, which she said was “appalling,” called out GOP leaders’ hypocrisy in criticizing Trump initially and then trying to get back in his good graces, and she noted that she has lots of family members who are “adamantly pro-Trump.”

“I am so angry about that,” she said of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. It is unfair that a lot of men are making decisions. I think that it is terrible.

She said that the overturning of abortion protections, which Trump is blamed for, was one of the motivators for her to vote for Harris.

“I will vote Democrat,” Bohlman said. “I will vote for Kamala. She came across well in the debate. She is a very astute, intelligent woman, who knows exactly where she’s going. She doesn’t judge someone based on whether she likes or dislikes them.

“No, I have not voted for Trump, nor will I ever,” Bohlman said. “I have never been able to stand the guy since he came into the picture years ago. I took a book away from my son becauseTrump wrote about making money. He didn’t make his money; he inherited it and lost it. He isn’t a good businessman. He’s not anything but a narcissistic misogynist.”

Proffitt said she is going to vote this year. “It’s a right I should exercise. I want my kids to know that it is a right.

Proffitt did not watch the debate or follow the news after it. She said she voted for Trump, but not for the president. But she is resolved to do so this time.

“He is aesthetically lacking,” she said, laughing, but “the major Trump haters are missing the whole point. They are not looking at issues, they are looking at personality.

She said that she was reluctant to vote for Trump, but not for Harris, because she did not think she could do anything about the border. We’re suffering for it.”

It would have been a slam dunk if RFK had been on the ticket, she said.

What do undecided voters tell us about a debate that is not a big Democrat or a Republican? A response to a question from the respondent

Of the debate, the respondent said, “I was like, OK, who are these people? They were not good actors. Suddenly, she was so articulate, that it was not hard to understand. There was something weird going on there.

He said he’s “not a big Republican, not a big Democrat.” He supports both the Green New Deal and Donald Trump because he thinks they went too far, but he is leaning towards one of the other two.

He said he wanted to see Trump debate again, even though he was not aware that Trump had decided not to debate Harris. Lee was disappointed when he was told about it.

He said that he is not sure if he is really knowledgeable about specifics, but from a how-our- family-is-feeling standpoint.

The debate was important for Harris. Most who watched said she performed better than Trump. Four people who appeared to need a bit of reassurance about Harris voting for her after the debate is now leaning towards her, because she was moved to vote for her.

There was a clear gender divide, as undecided voters often have unique reasons for what they do. Four women who are now voting for or leaning towards Harris are all females. That also reflects the wide gender gap seen in polls between the candidates.

What do undecided voters think about Donald Trump and how to vote for him? A phone interview with the New York Public Radio Radio Station

Many people didn’t want to use their full names, and some people didn’t want to use anything at all. They were cited for security concerns. They were worried about giving too much personally identifiable information in a political environment.

“I have probably a middle-class income for my family,” he said, “and it doesn’t feel like it’s getting any easier — even as my wife and I have advanced in our careers.”

Four dozen undecided voters in the last four months gave permission for NPR to call them back to find out why they were still undecided. To understand their current thinking and motivations, NPR tried them all and got in touch with 10 by phone in the days following the Harris-Trump debate. What we found was notable.

Most people have decided who they are going to vote for. Donald Trump is well know and reviled by people who either love or hate him. Voters say they don’t know anything about Vice President Harris.

Depending on who the voters choose, the election will be decided by a few swing voters, who will either vote for someone or stay home.

He said it would be great to have a female president. She’s done a lot of political things, but I haven’t seen them yet. Maybe she has ideas similar to mine.”

Almanza voted for Trump in 2020, in part because of veterans issues as his mom served in the military. He’s open to learning more about Harris this time, as both sides are on the table.

Since I’m more on my own, I have to research more on my own. “Are the Democrats really that bad this time around? Or is it just how I grew up thinking?

That has rallied a lot of girls in Atlanta. “I think it’s scary for a lot of kids and girls my age because … We don’t know what’s happening next.

Top of mind for her right now is protecting reproductive healthcare. She described feeling frightened after hearing that a 28-year-old woman had died at a hospital in the suburbs of Atlanta last month because she wasn’t able to receive a timely emergency abortion procedure.

When We All Vote: How Are You Getting Your Young People Voting? A Report from the Georgia Secretary of State Tight on the 2017 Early Voting Season

As of Sept. 5, more than 45,000 people under 30 in Georgia have registered to vote since late July, according to data compiled by Target Smart from the Georgia Secretary of State.

Bonier said that the large deficit in new voter registration this year was the largest among younger voters. “It’s an open question to what extent that gap will be made up. I believe it will.”

That said, this recent bump in registrations has yet to cancel out dips from earlier in the campaign season. It remains unclear if that overall number can surpass or rival 2020 numbers by Election Day.

He said that it’s a sign that someone is taking the time to register to vote. You can see it in a group. It’s indicative of that group. Being more engaged.

Tom Bonier is a Democratic strategist with the firm Target Smart, which recently published a database of state-by-state data detailing these new registrations. Though it’s unclear who these new voters will support this fall, Bonier argued the spike is a clear proxy for youth enthusiasm for Harris.

But that may be shifting. During the week Biden dropped out and Harris took over the Democratic ticket, there were noticeable spikes in voter registrations among young people, particularly young women and young women of color.

The voters under 30 who supported the president in 2020 were Black, Latino, and Asian American. Many were disappointed with their choices as they stared down another Biden and Trump meeting.

We pride ourselves on getting young people registered to vote and also following up with them to see if they actually made a plan to vote. How are you voting? She explained how the process works.

When We All Vote was created by former first lady Michelle Obama in 2018 and often collaborates with celebrities and national brands on voting initiatives around the country.

The executivedirector of When We All Vote was near the registration table at the Dream game.

How Do You Vote? A Nurse Practitioner in Atlanta, Georgia, Who Voted When President Biden Voted Earlier in the Dream

It is uncertain whether young voters will show up this year, since they don’t turn out as well as older generations. This year voting begins in October in Georgia, a state President Biden flipped in 2020 by less than half a percentage point.

After the Dream pulled off the much-needed win, Jones went over. She’s from California, but as a nursing student in Atlanta, she asked the voter organizers who were helping attendees register and check their information if she could register in Georgia this year.

“Especially as a Black woman in this world, there’s times where I’ll say, like, I don’t feel good, or I have pain, and sometimes doctors won’t hear me. She said that it could be if she’s feeling unsafe and the police officer doesn’t care. “So my vote is something that I can say, I voted, and this was my part in making sure that I have a say in what happens in the day-to-day in society.”
