The economy was the most important issue for Trump voters this year, 93% of his supporters said it was very important to their vote.

    I didn’t see a definition of what “supporter” means but based on the trans question I’m guessing these are MAGA. Not to mention the insane level of disconnect between saying, “The Justice system isn’t hard enough on criminals,” but supporting the biggest criminal ever to hold the office of President.

    I already know exactly what MAGA cares about and don’t give a fuck. It’s the people inexplicably still “in the middle” that I’d want to hear from.

      Validated voters

      Members of Pew Research Center’s nationally representative American Trends Panel were matched to public voting records from national commercial voter files in an attempt to find records for voting in the 2016 and 2020 general elections. Validated voters are citizens who told us in a post-election survey that they voted in a given election and have a record for voting in that election in a commercial voter file. Nonvoters are citizens who were not found to have a record of voting in any of the voter files or told us they did not vote.

      In an effort to accurately locate official voting records, up to three commercial voter files were searched for each panelist. The number of commercial files consulted varied by when a panelist was recruited to the ATP. Three files were used for panelists recruited in 2022 or before, while one file was used for panelists recruited in 2023. Altogether, files from four different vendors were used, including two that serve conservative and Republican organizations and campaigns, one that serves progressive and Democratic organizations and campaigns, and one that is nonpartisan.

      Additional details and caveats about the validation of votes in 2016 and 2020 can be found in these methodological reports:

      I believe you gotta go to each survey they’ve done for each of the widget to find out the source. I think they’re all based on the voter registration
