Swing Voter Project

ELECTION 2020 VOTER PERCEPTIONS

Engagious | Focus Pointe Global

Engagious, in partnership with Nelson Recruiting and NPR, conducts monthly online focus groups with U.S. adults who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024.  The respondents live in the seven most competitive states in the 2024 election.

For 21 months leading up to the 2020 election, we conducted monthly focus groups with Obama (’12)-Trump (’16) voters.  We held these sessions in person during the first 13 months of that iteration of the project; once the pandemic started, we shifted to online focus groups. After the 2020 election and throughout the Biden presidency, we conducted monthly online focus groups of respondents who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
