American voters are unhappy.
They don't like either options for President: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Many dub this presidential election the ultimate choice between "the lesser of two evils."
That exact phrase was repeated over and over again when voters talked to CNNMoney as part of a tour this month in the swing states of Florida and Ohio.
"Honestly, I feel like this election is finding the lesser of two evils," said Michelle, who works in financial services and lives in the key swing area of Tampa, Florida. "I think there's concern on both sides."
Michelle, who is white, didn't want to give her last name. She is leaning toward Trump because she's fed up with Washington. The refrain came up up with voters leaning toward Clinton and even those who remain undecided.
"You have to choose the least of the two evils," said Margaret DeBellottee-Torres, an African-American job coach in Tampa, Florida, who just shook her head when asked about the election. "I'm looking at Hillary. I think of the two candidates that she's the less of the two evils."
It didn't matter if a voter was young or old, male or female, a city dweller or surbubanite, a union worker, student, retired, unemployed or in a lucrative job. The frustration over Election 2016 is just about everywhere, according to what CNNMoney heard on the road and what Pew found in a recent poll.
CNNMoney spoke with almost 70 voters in the key swing states of Florida and Ohio for a "Your Money, Your Vote" TV special that will air in October 15.
Some used more choice language in describing their distaste for the choices.
"I think it [this election] looks a lot like the movie 'Idicoracy,'" said Bruce Davis, an undecided voter in southern Ohio who works in the energy industry. "I'm not sure I can vote for either candidate at this point."
