First, I doubt that although perhaps some in the poorer neighborhoods may have not been "moved" to vote by door knockers they may have felt weren't one of them, I doubt many were convinced not to vote by them, either.

First, I doubt that although perhaps some in the poorer neighborhoods may have not been "moved" to vote by door knockers they may have felt weren't one of them, I doubt many were convinced not to vote by them, either. I doubt it actually Hurt any... And all of the reasons that some potential voters may not have voted does not explain any of the ones who seemed like "safe" D voters and then shocked us all by voting R if exit polls are to be believed. These are all "didn't reach this person" reasons rather than "actively turned off this person" reasons. Meh stays home, it doesn't take it's vote across the street. And so many of the reasons given would be reasons not to vote for tRump either. Housing prices? He'll raise them even more and has a history of applied inequality. Low wages? His history on paying people at all, much less living wages is terrible. I could go on, but if these were the actual issues (and I'm not saying they weren't) then voters should have been running away from tRump as fast as they could IF they only knew. Which brings me back to: Exposure to true information and misogyny.

Your analysis is right.
