The 2016 presidential election was determined by voters who disliked both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Trump carried this portion of the electorate by a 17-point margin and, with their support, won the presidency.
Not surprisingly, much attention has been paid this cycle to these “double haters” (i.e. those who hold an unfavorable view of both Joe Biden and Trump). Less spoken about are those who hold an unfavorable view of neither Biden nor Trump, the “non-haters”.
The double haters and the non-haters currently are a similar proportion of the electorate, but they differ wildly on who they support. CONT.
