Just hours to go, New Hampshire primary voters still can't make up their minds
Fewer than half the state’s voters in Monmouth’s most recent survey said they had their minds firmly made up. By contrast, about 60% said so four years ago.
With younger voters heavily leaning toward Sanders, it’s the 36- to 45-year-olds who are most unsure, Paleologos said, noting that the rate among them is “unusually high.”Debbie Leavitt, 64, and her husband, Dick, showed up at a Sanders event in Rochester on Saturday, interested, but worried.Debbie, a retired French teacher, and Dick, a retired pastor, describe themselves as firm progressives, like Sanders. But they worry about what voters elsewhere will think.
That line of argument, in which voters tie themselves into knots analyzing not just who they like best buthas stood out this year among Democrats, desperate to find a champion they believe can vanquish Trump. “That’s the hardest part for me, in that I feel there’s a lot riding on my vote and” — she laughed — “I’ve never felt this much pressure on whether I’m really making a good decision.”
“I want to hear more about what he has to offer,” said Jack Evans, an Army veteran who is an undeclared voter, waiting to hear Pete Buttigieg, the“I don’t want to go too far left,” said Evans, who voted in the GOP primary in 2016 for former Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He also found Klobuchar and Andrew Yang appealing, he said, but former Vice President Joe Biden was “past his prime.”
Then there are voters who want to go beyond issues to try to grasp something more transcendent about their candidates.“Trump just seemed like he was gonna be a big shaker and mover, and he’s done some things, but he’s done a lot of things that I don’t like,” she said. “I don’t like his immigration policy, he’s excluding too many people. I think he’s a racist.
