关于堕胎权、通货膨胀以及共和党现在和未来的领导人，以下是摇摆州居民最近不得不说的话。
堕胎途径
上个月底，亚利桑那州民主党人举行了一次堕胎权利集会，抗议最近生效的领土时代堕胎禁令。
自由派妇女说这使她们成为二等公民;共和党女性认为，如果民主党人如此想要堕胎，他们应该离开。
“这绝对是一种恐吓战术，如果他们愿意，可以去加州堕胎，”共和党选民卡伦·德瑞克说。"加州甚至会支付你堕胎的费用."
9月，加州州长加文·纽瑟姆签署了一项法案，取消了堕胎的共付额。
在9月24日支持堕胎权的集会上，与会者表示，11月的比赛对于保护他们的生殖权利最为重要。
凤凰城选民吉娜·施密特说:“你怎么能说你是民主的，然后完全无视民主，这对我来说绝对是荒谬的。”“你怎么能说你希望政府远离人们的生活，但你却想对我的身体做出选择，这超出了我的大脑所能理解的范围。”
施密特说:“我不想告诉你如何对待你的生活或身体，也不要告诉我如何对待我的生活或身体，我们可以和平共处。”。
另一位凤凰城选民希瑟·纳斯特里(Heather Nastri)说，“这实际上让女性成为了二等公民。”。“如果你关心你的权利，关心妇女的权利，你的母亲，你的女儿，你需要出去投票。”
克里斯塔·斯迈利说，她三年前被“赶出”加州后搬到了亚利桑那州。她说她不相信共和党人会停止所有的堕胎。自从今年夏天罗伊诉韦德案被推翻以来，至少有12个州已经停止了几乎所有的堕胎服务。
“他们(民主党人)让这听起来像是共和党人想要阻止这一切，”斯迈利说。“不是这样的。不是这样的。有基督教组织和其他组织在那里提供帮助。”
“以我们的技术，没有理由在婴儿可以存活的最后三个月堕胎。亚利桑那州选民道恩·沃尔德曼说，她认为在妊娠头三个月堕胎是可以的。
膨胀
亚当·斯珀伯(Adam Sperber)是一名独立选民和司法部长，他和父亲从加州开车到俄亥俄州参加9月份的特朗普集会。他说通货膨胀对他的生意有负面影响。
斯珀伯说:“汽油价格:由于汽油和从一个活动到另一个活动的里程数，我的生意真的很难做。
乔治亚州选民香农·邦德是共和党参议员提名人赫歇尔·沃克的支持者。她说，作为一名单身企业主，由于日常成本上涨，她的税后工资缩水了10%。
她指责拜登政府。虽然白宫指出了其他强劲的经济消息，如低失业率，但他们也表示解决通货膨胀是他们的首要任务。
民调一直显示，美国总统乔拜登(Joe Biden)对该问题的处理得分较低，这可能是选举日的一个关键因素。
“我们过去为任何东西支付的费用现在都上涨了。并不是因为现在是2022年。这是因为谁在负责，他们如何做出影响我们所有人的决定，”沃克的支持者邦德说。
北卡罗来纳州罗利的选民凯·加里森(Kay Garrison)和朱迪·卡尔格雷姆(Judy Carlgrem)也表示，他们觉得通胀已经失控。
加里森说:“我有一半时间离开杂货店，却没有买到我需要的东西。”。
Carlgrem表示同意:“四人份的食品杂货更少，但钱更多。”

特朗普还是德桑蒂斯竞选共和党领袖?
最近几周，许多战场州的选民在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时都提到两个名字:唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)和罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)。
一些共和党选民表示，他们希望特朗普在2024年再次竞选总统，就像他一再取笑的那样，而其他人则认为他过于急躁，佛罗里达州州长应该竞选。还有一些人想象特朗普/德桑蒂斯2024年的门票。
虽然有些人对特朗普再次赢得白宫的机会充其量只是不冷不热，但很少有选民根本不希望德桑蒂斯在全国范围内竞选。
俄亥俄州的斯科特·斯珀伯(Scott Sperber)表示，如果在一场假设的共和党总统初选中，特朗普对阵德桑蒂斯，他会支持这位前总统——但正如斯珀伯所说，考虑到他周围的许多争议，这是对特朗普最好的事情。(特朗普否认有任何不当行为。)
“我的一部分感觉我们应该支持别人，因为他已经做得足够多了，这似乎是一场必败的战斗——我讨厌这么说，”斯珀伯说。
其他特朗普的支持者，如威斯康星州的索尔·索菲伦，想象了一个德桑蒂斯在四年后接替特朗普的世界。
来自内布拉斯加州林肯市的民主党人Rex Hugelman有一个局外人的观点。他说，他认为德桑蒂斯将在初选中领先于特朗普，原因与特朗普在2016年击败希拉里·克林顿的原因相同:“他被视为两害相权取其轻。”
Inflation woes, concern for abortion access in Arizona and more: Swing state voters sound off
On abortion access, inflation and current and future leaders of the Republican Party, here's what swing state residents recently had to say.
Abortion access
Late last month, Arizona Democrats held a rally for abortion rights in protest of a territorial-era abortion ban that recently went into effect.
Liberal women said it made them second-class citizens; Republican women argued that if Democrats want an abortion so badly, they should move.
"It's an absolute scare tactic and they can go to California and get their abortion if they want," said Republican voter Karen Deadrick. "California will even pay for you to get your abortion."
In September, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that eliminates copay for abortions.
At a Sept. 24 rally supporting abortion access, attendees said the November races are the most important for protecting their reproductive rights.
"How you can say you're about democracy and then completely spit in the face of democracy is absolutely absurd to me," said Phoenix voter Gina Schmidt. "How you can say you want the government out of people's lives but you want to get into making choices about my body is beyond something that I can even fathom in my brain."
"I don't want to tell you what to do with your life or your bodies [and] don't tell me what to do with my life or my body, and we can all peacefully coexist," Schmidt said.
"This is making women essentially second-class citizens," said another Phoenix voter, Heather Nastri. "If you care at all about your rights, about women's rights, your mother, your daughter, you need to get out and vote."
Krista Smiley said she moved to Arizona three years ago after being "forced out" of California. She said she didn't believe that Republicans were going to stop all abortions. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned this summer, at least 12 states have ceased nearly all abortion services.
"They [Democrats] are making it sound like Republicans want to stop all of it," said Smiley. "That's not true. That's not true. There's Christian organizations and stuff out there to help."
"With our technology, there's no reason to have an abortion in the last trimester when the baby can live. And it's better for the mother to have a c-section than for her to be put under," said Arizona voter Dawn Waldman who said she felt abortion might be OK in the first trimester.
Inflation
Adam Sperber is an independent voter and a D.J. who drove from California to Ohio for a September Trump rally with his father. He said that inflation is negatively hurting his business.
"The gas prices: It's really been hard on my business because of the gas and the mileage traveling from event to event," said Sperber.
Georgia voter Shannon Bond is a supporter of GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker. She said that, as a single business owner, her take-home pay has shrunk by 10% given rising everyday costs.
She blamed the Biden administration. While the White House points to other strong economic news, like low unemployment, they also say tackling inflation is their No. 1 priority.
Polling consistently shows President Joe Biden getting low marks for his handling of the issue, which could be a key factor on Election Day.
"What we used to pay for anything is now up. And it's not because that it is 2022. It is because of who's in charge and how they are making decisions that affect us all," said Bond, the Walker supporter.
Raleigh, North Carolina, voters Kay Garrison and Judy Carlgrem also said they felt inflation was out of control.
"I leave the grocery store half the time without buying what I need," said Garrison.
Carlgrem agreed: "Fewer groceries for four -- for more money."

Trump or DeSantis for leader of the GOP?
Many of the voters in battleground states who spoke with ABC News in recent weeks had two names on their lips: Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.
Some Republican voters said they wanted Trump to run for president again in 2024, as he has repeatedly teased, while others thought he was too hot-headed and that the Florida governor should run instead. Still others imagined a Trump/DeSantis 2024 ticket.
While some were lukewarm at best over Trump's chances of winning the White House again, very few voters did not want DeSantis to run nationally at all.
Scott Sperber, in Ohio, said that if it was Trump versus DeSantis in a hypothetical GOP presidential primary, he would support the former president -- but only if it was, as Sperber put it, the best thing for Trump given the many controversies swirling around him. (Trump denies any wrongdoing.)
"Part of me feels like we should support somebody else because he did enough and it seems like a losing battle -- I hate to say that," Sperber said.
Other Trump supporters, like Saul Sofilen of Wisconsin, imagined a world in which DeSantis succeeds Trump in four years.
Rex Hugelman had an outsider's view as a Democrat from Lincoln, Nebraska. He said that he thinks DeSantis would have a primary-race edge over Trump for the same reason Trump won against Hillary Clinton in 2016: "He was seen as the lesser of two evils."
