Battleground state voters: Who are you backing for president?

With a handful of swing states in the political spotlight again this presidential election season, Patchwork Nation is taking a closer look at the issues that most concern voters there.

If you're a likely voter in a swing state (Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin, Virginia, New Hampshire or Iowa), we want to hear from you about what issues matter to you this election year, and about what is driving you to the polls this November.

With the Republican and Democratic conventions nearly upon us, we'd like to start a conversation with voters in key states to hear what political messages are and are not resonating with them as Election Day approaches.

We may use your responses for articles appearing on PatchworkNation.org and PublicInsightNetwork.org.

Thank you for your time and your insight! A reporter may contact you to find out more about your story.
