>I watched CNN last night and they had an interview with a professor at Emory who studied how people vote in the U.S. It turns out that the majority of Americans study some of the issues (the ones they care about most) but always vote by their gut and emotion. If their gut or emotion leans toward one candidate while another candidate actually has policies they agree with, they will vote with their emotion pretty much every time. That was very disheartening to listen to.

And I think that is valid not only in U.S. :-)
