13 Jan Pennsylvania Swing Voters On #Iran #Impeachment #Trump #Yang #Biden #Warren & #Buttigieg
This month our Swing Voter Project team went to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where they met with 11 men and women who voted for Obama in 2012, and Trump in 2016.
It’s been a recurring theme with swing voters these past months, with slight variations:
Most would vote for Trump again; most of them would vote for him over Obama; they like what Trump is doing with the economy; they like that he won’t let other countries push us around.
There’s some embarrassment over his bluster, some fatigue with his drama, some anger that he hasn’t built The Wall yet; but they are mostly pleased with the job he’s done, and think he should be given another four years to keep doing it.
Wilkes-Barre swing voters’ thoughts on the top issues:
Top issues: Health care, immigration, jobs
Iran: It was right to target General Soleimani, but war with Iran would erode support for Trump.
Impeachment: Please stop wasting Americans’ time and money.
Economy: Better off than four years ago.
Trade: Tariffs better not raise prices.
Democratic presidential hopefuls: Be moderate with your policy positions.
Environment: Regulation rollbacks by Trump are very troubling.
What they wish America would resolve for 2020: To be kind.
