(25,183 posts)The swing voters who went from voting for Obama twice to voting for Trump did so for a reason. I suspect that civil unrest is the kind of chaos they might seek to avoid by staying with Trump, even though he may be an embarrassment to them now.
It's "safe" to tell a pollster that you're favoring Joe Biden right now, no actual change is going to come about by expressing frustration with Trump's ham-handed way of handling both domestic and foreign affairs. But when it comes down to being in the voting booth, or filling out your ballot at the kitchen table, and you wonder who will bring back the economy, or hurt you and your family the least, they may waver.
It's interesting to hear you say that you thought that George McGovern was weak for many reasons, can you tell me ways that Joe Biden is exuding strength that McGovern just didn't have? The only one I can think of is that Joe says he'll pick a woman to be his running mate, while it would have been wonderful for McGovern to have done that, it could very well have been too revolutionary for the times.
