The swing states are the states that decide the election in the United States. In the last decades he has voted for the Republican and Democratic candidates. It is in these states that the decision of who will become president of the United States is made.
That is why there is a particularly heated discussion here in the weeks leading up to the elections. For example in Florida: even retirees crash …
These residential complexes are typical of Florida. With the exception of Maine, the state is home to the majority of the elderly in the United States: 20.5 percent of the population here is 65 and older *; They are an important group of voters, especially for Trump.
In Florida, Trump won in 2016 with 49.1% * of the vote. Florida retirees helped the Republican candidate win the election. With more than 60% they voted for Trump. In Sumter County, where The Villages is located, it even got 68%. But that was before the pandemic.
The question is: does Trump’s handling of Corona change anything in terms of voting behavior? Especially with this endangered age group?
We asked Ellen Dugan: She is a retiree from Berlin who has lived in The Villages for 9 years and is campaigning for Joe Biden there.
Ellen Dugan, resident of “The Villages”:
“At first, Republicans weren’t wearing masks, but that changed as cases increased.”
We watched the golf cart parade for Trump’s birthday – do parties often collide?
Ellen Dugan, resident of “The Villages”:
“I was in a parade once like that … they called me a communist and a baby killer …”
What do you expect in the remaining weeks of the election campaign, especially in swing states?
Ellen Dugan, Rentnerin:
“I hope people see that Trump is destroying the country …”
Even wearing a mask has become a political issue in the United States, almost a kind of culture war. We spoke to American expert Christian Lammert about heated fronts:
Florida can decide everything; now we can see why it is like this:
A look at current election polls shows: It will be exciting in Florida. The gap between the two opponents has narrowed in recent weeks: According to the Real-Clear-Politics polling institute, Joe Biden’s 7.8 percentage point lead has now become just 4 percentage points. 49 percent of Florida voters would vote for Biden; 45 percent for Trump.
On average in all national polls, Biden leads: 50.8 percent would vote Democrats; 41.8 percent the president. *
The Biden gap is shrinking in Arizona as well. There we will see below another group of voters who can influence the outcome of the elections.
