Almost no Florida voters, it seems, want a president with empathy

Almost no Florida voters, it seems, want a president with empathy.

That’s one of the notable findings in a Florida Atlantic University poll released last month that asked the state’s voters what personality trait they value the most in a presidential candidate.
Empathy was dead last, at 4%.

And it could be even lower. The survey’s margin of error was plus or minus three percentage points. So the true share of people who most want empathy could be close to zero.

Among Republicans, 0% chose empathy as the personality trait they most wanted in a president, compared to 8% among Democrats and 4% among independent voters.
