Meet the Voters Who Will Decide the Election | WSJ State of the Stat

Going into the 2024 presidential election, nearly a third of voters aren't sold on President Biden or Donald Trump. So-called “persuadable" voters say they are undecided or might consider voting for a third-party candidate in November. Traditionally, a Democrat has to be up by four or five points in national polling to have the strength to win in the electoral college. So how will these voters impact the election?
WSJ breaks down what we know about the "persuadables," and why winning them over could be more essential to President Biden than Donald Trump.

So you maintain an electoral college on the premise that you don’t want the winner to be the one with the most votes yet the elections all fall down to maybe 5 states?

[@timaweyyne]

not even 5 states... Pa, Mi, and Wi will decide who will be the next president

[@ZackyVillain]

A person may have different concerns when he/she move to different community. And ppl are likely to follow the mainstream based on their social scope. When you do popular votes in country with vast land and some highly centralized metro areas like US, you are eventually making metro population way more important than everyone else. Rather than “being fair”, It is more like creating more political campaigns in big metro areas and making elites living in metro areas more influential. Though you are only commenting on the system without siding. I assume you are reciting democrat’s cliche narrative about majority (or highly educated or younger ppl) cannot speak because of a wicked system. The thing is that Biden may lose popular vote too, according to current poll.

Except there closed primaries in most of the states

[@Nanofuture87]

Democrats didn't even hold primaries in some states and had zero debates. What a joke of a comment.

[@alanzolotoff6014]

I’m totally in this group and so far I’m leaning towards Trump. I don’t like open borders.

[@corinnecarlman9992]

Definitely not biden, that's my absolute. Its between jfk and Trump .I'm not clear on jfk's opinion on border issue.

[@Harsh-mg2em]

Can you please name a specific law that changed under Biden regarding the border? I want to vote for him because he's been stopping more people than Trump with apprehensions at an all time high, I always thought Trump does the Hitler "poising the blood of our race" thing because he knows he failed on migration, only getting a brake during Covid and not catching many people.

[@themainmanborah]

@@corinnecarlman9992 RFK is pretty open borders (JFK is not the guy running)

[@oftengone]

Why can’t people admit that global affairs were more under control with Trump?

[@eyallevin6302]

They were, but correlation does not equal causation.

[@balayagesalon]

They weren't. They made fun of him and his ego and took advantage of how dumb he was

[@NguyenNatri]

@@balayagesalon made fun of Trump? Did you even look at Biden's gaffes? "America can be defined in a single world: Asssfhhhtlllmmnfff". "4 more years, ... PAUSE", tripping 3 times on the plane stair, etc... Need I go more? Biden is literally a laughing stock of the world right now.

[@MartinZiegert]

Okay, I am a lefty, and I am not a friend of WSJ, but well it's solid journalism. But what I do not get is, that for 34 years, for each Republican President (Bush, Bush, Trump), economics failed. Can't you see it?

[@madhavyu]

It actually goes goes back further than that. Ever since we started measuring the economy after the Great Depression, almost every economic indicator is significantly better under the Democrats than the Republicans.

[@simontemplar404]

The economy tanked under Republicans but the important thing is that the wealthy got to keep more cash if they could make any under those governments. Job done.

[@porscheoscar]

Democrat Presidents have added 48 million of the last 50 million jobs to the U.S. economy. That goes back to Kennedy.

[@MartinZiegert]

@@simontemplar404 Sure, Reps making the rich, richer.

[@L333gok]

The thing is that this trend seems to have reversed under Trump and Biden, and people have a short memory. People aren’t going to recognize that Trump just got lucky, they’re going to think he did something to fix the economy

[@kbram7363]

i’m staying home.

[@reallll2778]

I’m an independent and I agree with a lot of this I don’t like trump or Biden I rather a guy like RFK win.

[@porscheoscar]

That's a vote for Trump

[@SalmanAhmed-jh7uy]

Please vote for trump please...I m not American...but under trump there were no war....u vote matters to us ... please bring back trump

[@L333gok]

RFK is objectively like 20x times worse than Trump in every way, but Democrats are still pretending that Trump is ‘literally the worst possible President.’ I wanna see RFK win so they can slowly realize an anti-vax conspiracy theorist is now President as they’re celebrating Trump’s loss

[@oftengone]

@@SalmanAhmed-jh7uythe people who actually want world peace are trying 🙏

[@eyallevin6302]

Why? Conspiracy theorist? Denier of vaccines?

[@auro1986]

did voting actually improve economy?

[@memyselfeyetallent7149]

Nope

[@balayagesalon]

Yes

[@Nanofuture87]

​@@balayagesalonNo amount of gaslighting is going to convince people of that when they can see reality for themselves at the grocery store.

[@Harsh-mg2em]

Yeah it did, Trumpists cope because something something supermarket, but numbers are record high.

[@Nanofuture87]

​@@Harsh-mg2emI don't support Trump at all and in fact he helped contribute to this mess, but you can make numbers say whatever you want with sufficient manipulation.

[@JJ-to6qu]

If you can’t appeal to the majority of Americans, you shouldn’t be President of all Americans.

[@tjinc002]

The way I see it, joe biden does nothing better or different from donald trump. So either way, make no difference to me.

[@eyallevin6302]

In what ways? Most ways they are very different

[@Harsh-mg2em]

If you voted Trump last time, vote Kennedy! Trump became soft and moderate!

[@dr9gonkid20]

Are ya done BSing?

[@simontemplar404]

Luckily all the Hamas supporters and college protesters will vote for Trump.

[@alanhill897]

The relentless focus on politics as a spectator sport, as in this piece, has done more to erode the quality of American political discourse than anything else.

[@anthonyfrias5533]

I'm voting for Biden because he's safer for democracy

[@barbiedreamzown]

You guys should get better at representing the perspectives of ADOS/Black Americans

[@Superpooper-2020]

India is currently grappling with an outbreak of the Nipah virus, a concerning situation that has garnered limited public awareness due to the strict control exerted by the Indian government over media coverage. This lack of widespread information dissemination has raised questions about transparency and public health communication during such critical health crises.

[@AD70003]

[@simontemplar404]

From the 12 to 15 September 2023, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, reported six laboratory-confirmed Nipah virus cases, including two deaths, in Kozhikode district, Kerala. Aside from the first case, whose source of infection is unknown, the other cases were family and hospital contacts of the first case. As of 27 September 2023,1288 contacts of the confirmed cases were traced, including high-risk contacts and healthcare workers, who are under quarantine and monitoring for 21 days. Since 12 September, 387 samples have been tested, of which six cases were positive for Nipah virus infection, and all remaining samples tested negative. Since 15 September, no new cases have been detected. This is the sixth outbreak of Nipah virus in India since 2001

[@alexschmidt9169]

americans please vote third party i'm begging you 🫶🏻✨

[@hlexnc]

The topic between 0:43-2:29 is really relatable. I didn't expect anybody to ever cover this. Though I am a Democrat, I feel like voting for trump this term is best, because then he won't be able to run for the presidency next term.

[@eyallevin6302]

You’re going to vote for someone just because you don’t want them to run? What’s so bad about running for office? The media will always be obsessed with him no matter what

[@geniusnoble842]

I am an African Migrant voting for the first time. I will vote for Trump any day over Biden. The Democratic Party has lost its ways. Now focusing on Gays, and transgenders. No more working class and economics.

[@oftengone]

American black folk are tired of getting used by the Dems as well

[@balayagesalon]

You're crazy .Working class has raises and more jobs .The chips act has already put Americans to work and we don't have to rely on China
