• Many undecided voters are longtime Republicans unhappy with both candidates.

WASHINGTON Amanda Jaronowski is torn.

The lifelong Republican from suburban Cleveland supports President Donald Trump’s policies and fears her business could be gutted if Democrat Joe Biden is elected.

But she abhors Mr. Trump personally, leaving her on the fence about who will get her vote.

Ms. Jaronowski is part of a small but potentially significant group of voters who say they remain truly undecided just two weeks from the Nov. 3 election. They have been derided as uninformed or lying by those — who cannot fathom still being undecided, but conversations with a sampling of these voters reveal a complicated tug of war.

Many, like Ms. Jaronowski, are longtime Republicans wrestling with what they see as a choice between two lousy candidates: a Democrat whose policies they cannot stomach and a Republican incumbent whose personality revolts them. Some voted for thirdparty candidates in 2016 because they were so repelled by their choices — Mr. Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton — and may do so again.

Among those still on the fence is the Rev. John Welton, 40, a Presbyterian minister from Winfield, Kan., who has spent much of his career moving from parish to parish. His political views, he said, have been shaped in part by watching how trade deals have hurt once- vibrant manufacturing communities and his congregants’ livelihoods, as well as by his own “proSecond Amendment” views.

Rev. Welton said he is turned off by Mr. Biden’s support for tighter gun restrictions. But he is also put off by Mr. Trump’s bullying and demeaning of his opponents and by his divisive rhetoric.

Cathy Badalamenti, 69, an independent from Lombard, Ill., is also struggling with her vote once again. In 2016, she voted for a thirdparty candidate after twice supporting Democrat Barack Obama.

“I’m not happy with anybody,” she said of her choices this time.

That’s especially hard in a family of ardent Trump supporters who have balked at her indecision.

“Believe me, my son, my kids are looking at me and thinking, ‘ How can you not like Trump?’ ” she said.
