NBC News launches new 2024 focus group series

'The Deciders' monthly focus groups to build on reporting focused on key issues driving voters to the polls this November

Posted

NBC News on Thursday launched "The Deciders Focus Groups," a new monthly series of in-depth conversations with key slices of the 2024 electorate conducted in collaboration with Engagious, Syracuse University’s Institute for Democracy, Journalism & Citizenship, and Sago. Highlights from the first conversation aired Thursday, Feb. 1, on "Meet the Press NOW."

Moderated by Engagious president Rich Thau, each session will give audiences an in-depth look at voter attitudes ahead of the 2024 election by featuring a unique subset of the electorate — broken down by demographic, geography or ideology — that NBC News polling has shown could play a determining role in the outcome of November’s election. 

The first conversation featured 15 Pennsylvania women who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 and oppose the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Other featured groups will be announced in the coming months.

Building on the work of over three dozen journalists reporting on The Deciders — seven key voting blocs that will shape the story of the 2024 election from the ground level — these focus groups will take NBC News audiences even deeper into the issues that matter most to voters this cycle. Together, these focus groups and reporting will illustrate the key trends and subcurrents impacting voters’ decision-making this year.
