Amanda Jaronowski is a lifelong Republican struggling to decide who to vote for in this year's election. Some voted for third party candidates in 2016 because they were so repelled by their choices — Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton — and may do so again. Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who has been running focus groups with undecided voters throughout the election, including one Thursday night that included Jaronowski, sees a common refrain among many of the undecideds. Many of those voters rallied around Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, helping to hand him his unexpected victory. Having so few undecided voters to move "is problematic if your candidate is not leading," said Becca Siegel, the campaign's chief analytics officer.
