    Low information voters are easily confused, but also consider that polling doesn’t capture cross sections very well. If 6 out of 10 can vote for the GOP, and 6 out of 10 support the right to abortion, then only 2 out of 10 need to be completely oblivious. It would still be true to say that a majority voted for Trump, and a majority support abortion rights. That doesn’t mean it’s the same majority.

    I haven’t looked at the data, but it wouldn’t surprise me that 20% of people in any category are confused or out of touch.
