The Impact of Undecided Voters in the 2024 Election

With a couple of weeks left until election day, you think it would be an easy choice between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic Nominee Kamala Harris. However, despite the strikingly overt differences that would make the mood of the room feel night and day, there is a percentage of voters who still can’t decide to vote either red or blue.

“In an era of hyperpolarization, the idea that there are still “undecided voters” might seem unbelievable.” Writer Joel Mathis stated in an article for The Week. “But they exist — and they could choose who wins in November.”

What makes a voter feel this way? What makes a voter feel unsure about who to put in charge of their future? One apparent reason is that voters feel unsatisfied with the options they have for the general election.

“Dissatisfied for many reasons ranging from lack of clear policies and potential threats to democracy to their personalities, these voters say they aren’t content with either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.” National Correspondent Terry Collins stated in a USA Today article.

This is an interesting statement to make because there’s one candidate who talks about the grievances of himself, and another candidate who wants to talk about the grievances of the American people. Terry Collins explains how when it comes to undecided voters, there’s a small percentage that makes up the electoral vote.

However, due to the closeness of this electoral race, undecided voters could potentially be the deciding factor in the race. Some people are undecided because they know too much or too little about the candidates. Despite the problematic choice, some undecided voters will honor their right to vote on election day.
