| | DLC: Swing Voters Matter More Than You Think |
| | Its central premise was to make deep inroads in three key swing voter categories with three highly targeted policy initiatives: the 2001 No Child Left Behind education reform law for married women with kids; a Medicare prescription drug benefit for seniors; and a "guest worker" proposal for Hispanics. | | | As you might expect, independents are over-represented among Pew's swing voters, with 39 percent choosing that label, as compared to 27 percent who are Republicans and 25 percent who are Democrats. | | | But it's especially important this year to remind political strategists that swing voters still exist in sizeable numbers, and will probably be decisive in November. |
