Going over my intvws from Michigan, this quote caught my ear. A guy who didn't vote in 2016 - who was hand-delivering his ballot more than a month before Election Day this year.
"I don't like neither one of them, but I voted for Biden, I mean, you know..." his voice trails off.
"I don't like neither one of them, but I voted for Biden, I mean, you know..." his voice trails off.
I pushed him to explain.
"He (Trump) disbanded the pandemic team," he said (this was before news that Trump had contracted COVID-19). "I'm not real political but for lack of a better word, he's an a*$hole."

The question I have - of course - is whether he's anecdata. Or indicative of any broader trend. And candidly - I'm not sure. In part, because I also met voters who didn't vote in 2016 who are still not sold on Biden or Trump.
Trump won Michigan by less than 11,000 votes in 2016.
