isn't ''they would vote for" and "will definitely cast ballots" the same thing?

(4,892 posts)You can kind of think of it this way: The difference between "they would vote for" and "will definitely cast ballots" is like the enthusiasm gap. Highly motivated citizens will definitely vote. Less motivated may or may not cast a ballot, but if they did this is the way they would vote.
