Picking a candidate in the primary involves looking past those polls and envisioning what the general campaign will be like, and that means having an instinct for what voters want that goes beyond polling.Last edited by Hannibal; May 3, 2023, 06:20 AM.

Along that theme, here are the top 4 priorities Republican voters have in choosing a candidate. It's no mystery that for the most part they've lost Independents for 3 straight cycles.

It seems to me what Independents value right now is image and decorum. Something that is never on a "priorities" ballot. It explains the 2020 election perfectly.
Also --- I believe that a poll of Dems would show a similarly out-of-sync-with-independents set of priorities (e.g. Global Warming, LGBTQ rights, etc),Last edited by Hannibal; May 3, 2023, 06:19 AM.

I do want to see DeSantis but, to be fair, head-to-head polls like that this far out are total garbage. An unpopulari incumbent usually looks bad in those because the challenger hasn't had time for people to learn his negatives. That's not to say that Governor Ron can't beat Biden, but I would put zero stock in anything saying that he would outperform Trump now.

HOWEVER, I'd guess abortion polls relatively high for independents (certainly behind money and crime), so that's an area of weakness.
The issues on the margin are about creating a general feel that the other side is nutso. It's an aggregate approah (IMO). Unfortunately, DJT and Jan6 play into that. Fortunately, the Progs give the Rs plenty to work with, too -- certainly enough to offset the Rs liabilities IF the head of the party isn't a ginormous nutjob.Last edited by iam416; May 3, 2023, 06:32 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
