MI Focus Group: Biden Senile

Website Axios.com organized a focus group of 9 Michigan voters who share a characteristic: they voted for Obama in 2012, then for Trump in 2016. Let’s call them swing voters, people who might vote for either party. 

Asked about voting for Biden, the panelists were skeptical to say the least. Axios tends to be somewhat liberal, I give them props for printing what people said, when I’m sure they didn’t like the comments.

"I just feel that what he’s saying is not making any sense to me," said Sharon T. of Biden's television appearances. She called Biden "a puppet" for wearing a mask in public, suggesting that he was only doing it to be politically correct.

Many of these voters prioritize the economy as their #1 issue in this election and continue to trust Trump on that issue, saying the economy was doing well before the pandemic.

In addition to improving the economy and trying to bring more jobs to the U.S., Jeff O. said he's picking Trump because "I don’t think that Biden is mentally capable of being president."

Matt T. described Biden as "up there in age" and "showing signs of dementia" as well as "a puppet" who is "controlled by a lot of people in the deep state." He went on to define that term as "the lobbyists, the people that have the big money, the people that have influence on a lot of the politicians."

Shelley D. said she recently watched a YouTube video compilation of Biden's "blunders" and "all these ridiculous things that come out of his mouth or his stuttering."
Only two of the nine said they were voting for Biden.
