'None Of The Above': Voters Explain Why They Are So Dissatisfied With Clinton, Trump

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/CBSNews) - None of the above?

Some voters in the key swing state of Florida appear to want the Republican and Democratic parties to go back to the drawing boards as far as their frontrunners go.

CBS News contributor and Republican strategist Frank Luntz organized a focus group of Republican and Democratic voters to discuss their dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates.

None of the group said they had a favorable impression of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.

"I would rather not vote than vote for either one of these candidates," one woman said. "And it pains me to say that, because I feel it's my right as a member of this democratic society to be able to vote. But given those two candidates, I can't vote for either one of them."

"I just think that none of the - either party doesn't deserve my vote. They're not giving me what I feel we need as a country," another woman said. "So why give the support to someone who's not going to do what I need them to do for me and my family?"

Another person critiqued Clinton and Trump as not presidential.

"The only way I want to see Donald Trump in the White House is if he's on a guided tour," one man said. "The only way I want to see Hillary Clinton in the White House is if her prison is on a guided tour."

"There's a great opportunity for someone, and that person had better come forward fast," one woman said. "Because if the Republicans put Donald Trump up, and the Democrats put Hillary Clinton, it will be the worst turnout election ever."
