Definition
[edit]- Soft support is a phrase used in politics to describe the volatility of support for a candidate among voters. The concept of soft support is one that is used to discredit any recorded measures of support for a candidate,[citation needed] including preference polls, campaign infrastructure, media and fundraising strength, which may or may not be reflected in an election by hard votes.
I've added a citation request tag because the cited source does not include the definition given. It mentions nothing about discrediting support for a candidate, for instance. Either we need to find a source which supports the given definition, or we need to change the definition to math what the source says. Will Beback talk 07:59, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
