TweetFocus group: Ohio independent voters “unhappy”
With the Nov. 2 election just four days away, Ohio independent voters are “unhappy” with the political system and hold negative views both of Congress and President Barack Obama, according to focus group research released Thursday.
“This unhappiness has the potential to threaten incumbents of both political parties and raise questions about the legitimacy of the political process beyond the outcome of the election,” John Green, director of the Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, said in a press release.
The focus group research stemmed from the latest Akron Buckeye Poll by the Bliss Institute.
The full report may be viewed here.
The research found that independent voters thought the political system had been unresponsive to the public, especially on the economy.
“We’re not being heard,” one participant said.
Another participant said that politicians, like NASCAR drivers, should “wear patches on their suits from their sponsors.”
The Buckeye Poll was conducted by phone in August 2010 with a random sample of 600 Ohio adults. Eight independent voters were chosen from the original sample for a focus group on Oct. 20.
The survey and focus group were conducted by the Center for Marketing and Opinion Research for the Bill Institute.
