Well, I dont know how you asked them, but from what it seems their decision on who to vote for may be a result of many different issues. For example, the two candidates have very different views on abortion, how to deal with Iran, Libya, etc. Therefore, your comment is only applicable if you had asked: "which candidate do you think is more capable of growing the economy?" An interesting followup to that question may be to what degree do you think that either of the candidates can grow the economy? This would be to ascertain not just who may be better but also how good is the candidate. Do they believe that both candidates are bad and they are simply choosing the lesser of two evils? Lastly, I would ask, "what historical evidence do you rely on to make your decision?" I'd like to ask this to determine how these people are making their decisions. For example, do they have an explanation for why Obama hasn't grown the economy in the last four years or an explanation for why Romney's past performance qualifies him. Or is the explanation more humanistic: "Obama seems like a more trustworthy guy."
