Crash Course U.S. Government and Politics - Season 1 Episode 38 How Voters Decide
0.00 10 minutes So today, Craig is going to try to get inside the heads of voters by discussing how voters make decisions.

Now this all might seem like common sense, and well it sort of is, but it's important to be aware of and take into account the factors that influence our decisions - especially when considering that many voters are not particularly well-informed.
