Speaking on behalf of presidential elections...
There are a whole lot of people in this country who believe, rightly or wrongly, that a binary choice between two out-of-touch rich people to "lead their country" is simply not worth their time because it won't make a difference in their lives.
I think voter turnout is an underrated statistic of elections. 1996 was a prime example. While Bill Clinton won a decisive victory among those who voted, the astoundingly low turnout signified a very apathetic electorate that didn't care much about the election either way.
