Doesn’t this assume that an election is about persuading voters to change between candidates as opposed to voting or not voting?
I think a similar exercise of non-voters who lean Dem and non-voters who lean republican would be more illuminating.
You don’t care why republicans voted for Trump or why Dems voted for Harris. You only care about groups who changed votes in 2016/2020/2024 or who voted previously and didn’t vote this time or didn’t vote previously and voted this time. You can’t extract that data from the main blocks of people who will always vote Dem or always vote repub and will always find a reason for doing so.
