This generally seems like a poor signal. People are very bad at reporting what affects their voting decision and a little better at reporting how they will vote. I would be much more apt to believe this was an important factor if we see a shift in the tracking polls or a significant shift in another.
- ethanbond 10y ago> I haven't seen any numbers that indicate the nation cares either way on this Regardless of if it will affect their vote (some it will, some it won't), people absolutely do care.
- drawnwren 10y agoYou're right. People do have feelings about this. I didn't mean to discuss feelings. I meant to use the word care to mean more specifically that this is not a deciding factor in a significant number of votes. Which is the only context that matters to me.
