Main Concern Doesn’t Sway Voters

Such a seeming logical disconnect might actually be very logical. It could be because, as Robert Michaels, a Republican from Fort Collins, Colorado, said, “I’m not sure what any candidate can do to improve the job situation.” Or it could be, especially in the case of lower middle-class and poor Americans, that the voters have already chosen the candidate that they believe will give them the biggest government handout. Or it could be that Americans are realizing that there isn’t much of a substantive difference amongst the three candidates, especially having to do with the economy, hence they might as well make their decision for president based on some less concrete criteria — such as whether he or she is more honest than the other candidates.
