From the left: Who Are the Disgruntled Voters?

Al Hunt at Bloomberg View sat in a recent focus group with a dozen still-undecided voters and found it “the most negative one I’ve ever seen” in some 40 years. Though all said they expect to vote, they “found no virtues to debate” among the candidates. Yet the group “didn’t fit the caricature of the angry, mean-spirited populist. They were reasonably content with their lives, though not so optimistic about the next generation. It was the campaign, not the country, that unsettled them.” In the end, all 12 expected Hillary Clinton to win, though “none expressed enthusiasm at the prospect.” That, he says, “gives little reason for optimism about her ability to unite the country as president.”
