Well, counselor...I'm not whomod so I'm not going to search all over the interwebs to find articles to support my claims but, I know this much...Many of my in-laws from rural West Virginia voted Republican in the last 2 elections and are now hurting more economically than they were in 2000 and previous...stimulus check be damned. Most of them will be giving the Dems a try this year.

Purely anecdotal and not admissable in court but there you are....


But even if we accept your anecdote as an example of a broad trend this year, it does not illustrate that the policies "typically" hurt such voters. It only illustrates that they perceive the current policies as hurting them and are considering a change in voting habits for this particular election.
