App Description
The 2016 race for president of the United States has defied nearly every expectation. And no one seems to know exactly why.
The American Voter, a free app from Reuters, tells the powerful story of the makeup, mood and outlook of the U.S. electorate. It explains how the voters themselves – not personalities, campaign strategies, party rules or who’s offending whom – are the key to understanding why this year’s U.S. presidential race is like nothing the world has seen before.
Featuring insight from thinkers and writers inside and outside the award-winning Reuters newsroom, as well as video, imagery, interactive infographics and more, coverage includes:
• The crisis facing the two big political parties as voters have rejected, ignored or at least seriously doubted their preferred candidates
• How “big money” has shaped, and been shaped by, the presidential campaigns
• The campaign’s frequently ugly gender war
• Voters in their own words – the surprisingly complex mix of emotions motivating them
• Reuters “Best and Worst” of the campaign so far, from Hillary Clinton’s favorite song to Martin O’Malley’s one-person rally
• The role of religion in the U.S. electorate
• Deep dive infographics and discussion of Hispanics’ electoral power and whether it will make a difference
• Much more
Don’t miss our opening essay from the venerable Sir Harry Evans, Reuters Editor at Large, who provides an incisive, thoughtful, sometimes humorous, look a race in which conventional wisdom couldn’t be more wrong.
