Two interesting features of the data. First, the 2000 election was one of the most consequential in a long time, given the Iraq War, so it's jarring to see how little people though of leadership in that time. Second, it's amazing how many people came around to thinking elections matter by 2016 in contrast to how low voter turnout was. Something seems wrong there to me.
