Someone who votes based on how the economy is doing first and foremost.
Voted Gore and Bush as they were satisfied with the economy under the incumbents, Voted Obama due to the recession and voted Romney due to perception of slow recovery. They voted Hillary as they thought the economy was finally recovering, and are now voting Trump due to the economy.
Above hypothetical voter is probably an upper-middle class, white collar male in an outer suburb of a large city.

Yup that’s the correct answer , they said they will vote to re-elect the party in the White House if the economy is doing well , if it was doing bad they will vote for the opposite party . 2004 they said was the one exception where they would have (if they could have voted ) where they would have taken into account something  other than the economy into account .


The answer to this I thought was pretty obvious, in 2000(if they could have voted ), 2016, and for now in 2020 the economy is/was doing well so they supported the incumbent party , in 2008 and 2012 the economy was doing bad so they supported the opposition party and 2004 was ambiguous but the economy wasn’t doing badly either and terrorism was a huge issue so they voted for the incumbent party

wow
such morons, considering that the President in reality has very little actual control over the short term trajectory of the economy.

This is how I will vote, but I would have voted Bush in 2000 and 2004.
