Im generally talking about people who liked alot of trump policies but chose to vote him out anyway, maybe cause they liked Biden more or thought one Trump term is enough.

 How about the opposite? People who dont like Trump policies but voted for him anyway. Id say these are the type of people who always voted for the incumbent.

Id say both of these types of voters are heavily based on character.

1) Boujee white suburbanites in the Sunbelt + your average *veteran* Atlas R-avatar (especially the brown ones).

2) Open to interpretation (depends on which policies they like/dislike), but probably a lot of Latino and Asian 45 voters who aren't partisan Republicans. I don't think this is as based on character as you're suggesting.

I don't think this board grasps just how many people base their vote on the dumbest of reasons. These types of voters are completely non-ideological.

I truly think trump got a lot of votes because people love to see "strength and macho"

There were likely a fair number of pro/anti social distancing single issue voters even though they agreed with the opposite side on most everything else, probably high income doctors/nurses who never dreamed of voting Dem before and low income restaurant/resort employees who never dreamed of voting R.

A lot more of those restaurant employees than you might imagine were already staunchly pro-Republican even before all this--at least they are in my area of FL, anyway.

This doesn't answer the question, but there is a decent number of people (especially in R-leaning suburbs) who liked Trump's policies, didn't like his character, but voted for him anyway.

I think the best question is: are there any voters who liked both candidates? We usually looked at undecided voters this cycle (and in 2016) as people who didn't like either candidate and were deciding between what they viewed as the lesser of two evils. Do you think anyone faced the opposite dilemma? Maybe some older white males in the Rust Belt for 2020 and some working class white women for 2016?

Good point, they went for Trump in 2016...but who knows this time...

Remember that a $15 minimum wage bill passed on the same ballot in Florida that Trump won.

Yep, although again, I can't tell you how many supposed "low income restaurant workers" I know here were opposed to that measure.

Trump personally was the biggest hurdle, he didn't show compassion for Covid victims that otherwise Bush W did after 911, due to Trump not believing in mask wearing
