A. Martinez:内华达州选民普遍感到疲惫和焦虑,希望大选尽快结束。他们对候选人的承诺持怀疑态度,担心承诺无法兑现或被其他因素抵消。许多人表示,他们最关心的是如何赚钱以及如何尽可能多地把钱留在自己口袋里。 Steve Inskeep:在宾夕法尼亚州,许多选民不愿谈论政治,这与以往的采访经历大相径庭。人们似乎不愿意卷入政治争论,或者担心在社交媒体上受到负面评价。 Michelle Martin:宾夕法尼亚州选民的经济状况与其世界观之间存在关联。除了经济因素外,候选人给选民带来的感觉也很重要。候选人的信息传递方式可能会适得其反,影响选民的投票意向。即使在同一个家庭中,人们的政治观点也可能存在差异。虽然媒体关注少数族裔选民,但在摇摆州,白人选民最终将决定选举结果。一些少数族裔选民对候选人的承诺持怀疑态度,感到失望。宾夕法尼亚州的一些大学生更关注国内议题,例如堕胎权,而非中东战争。 Leila Fadel:密歇根州的阿拉伯裔美国人选民,由于自身经历和对中东政策的担忧,对选举抱有强烈的生死攸关感,他们的投票选择受到多种复杂因素的影响。他们面临在支持哈里斯和谴责特朗普之间做出艰难抉择的困境。公开支持哈里斯的阿拉伯裔美国人面临来自同族的批评和指责。密歇根州部分共和党人对2020年大选结果的质疑以及对选举舞弊的担忧,引发了对选举结果接受度的担忧。
