This poll of swing voters says something different. It seems to me maybe it was the info/media wars. Some of these “reasons” given seem to me to be problematic. A 3 month campaign was doomed to fight an uphill battle. And the campaign kept Harris and Walz from doing interviews the first month.

It was about Covid. The supply chain issues and the inflation, much of which was caused by Trump himself came while he was president. Though, I’d argue some of his Covid spending was needed even as he became reluctant. The economy is largely back on track but our faulty memories are of the past rather than the present. Ticket splitting this time is very interesting, as are those who stayed home. Now, it’s Republicans who see the economy as great. Go figure.

The Dems lost, because the people didn’t want a cheerleader or a coach. They want to be apart of a team with a capable quarterback leading the charge.
