Florida voters "fed up" with Trump and Clinton speak out

March 18, 2016

Voters in the key swing state of Florida are sharing their frustration about their options in the 2016 presidential race. A focus group comprised of Republican and Democratic voters who oppose both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump offered a revealing look at the anger toward the front-runners in both parties.

Clinton and Trump share the distinction of being among the least-liked candidates.

"I would rather not vote than vote for either one of these candidates," one woman told CBS News contributor and Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who led the group at the Orlando Public Library. "And it pains me to say that, because I feel it's my right as a member of this democratic society to be able to vote. But given those two candidates, I can't vote for either one of them."

"Why none of the above?" Luntz asked.

"I just think that none of the-- either party doesn't deserve my vote. They're not giving me what I feel we need as a country," another woman explained. "So why give the support to someone who's not gonna do what I need them to do for me and my family?"

I take this information with a grain of salt considering it comes from Frank Luntz. How did Luntz come up with this group of people?

is like no other..GOP collapsing and they have no idea what they're going to do.

You can see a few signs though, some of them are coming around to meeting
with Obama's pick for SCOTUS...they know they'll likely lose the WH and if
Trump does win the nom the establishment will help him to lose.

The voices we hear about Hillary should not be ignored either...low voter
turn out is real and there are enough wild cards with voters that we should
be as prepared as possible.

Overall, this is not a snapshot we're only seeing through the eyes of
a guy like Luntz. It's weird times ahead.
