Swing voters are expected to be crucial in the upcoming midterm elections. Focus group moderator Rich Thau recently checked in with swing voters in Georgia. When asked how the war in Iran makes them feel, a man named Joe said, “angry,” a voter named Chris said, “concerned,” and a woman named Natalie said, “hopeful.” Thau uses just their first names.
Here & Now‘s Lisa Mullins speaks with Thau, who runs the firm Engagious, which hosts focus groups for the Swing Voter Project.
