you can actually add the people that voted in 2012 and in the 2014 midterms together and not quite make it to 100% of the people that could have voted in either election.

at this point, "on the fence" is more likely to mean "i may not vote" than "i'm not sure who i'm going to pick."

and many of those people who will vote this year still aren't enthusiastic about their choices.

diametrically opposed is putting it pretty strongly. they have a lot in common. and they both fail to address, or address incorrectly, lots of issues that matter to people.

i know i vastly prefer one candidate, but it's not shocking that other people don't feel that way.
