Persuasion Drivers
STWhy ST voters lean toward Hartmut Guenther over Joachim Meier. Each driver is signed: + = lift, − = drag. Drivers are relative within this list and only move the persuadable slice of each party's vote, so their real effect is small. Coattail rows are direct share tilts in %. A raw vote lead does not equal the sum of these bars.

Ceiling this cycle: at most 20.0% of Joachim Meier's vote can be persuaded across to Hartmut Guenther, and 20.0% of Hartmut Guenther's vote can be persuaded away. Registration lean sets the starting split and how hard a party is to move, not the final share. These drivers add up to -0.5 pts of that movable slice.
