A state's potential voters were asked about issues of concern to them in the upcoming election. Many said they believed the established politicians representing them were not concerned with the issues that affected residents' lives. In particular, many noted that Senator Smith, who has been in office for more than 10 years, rarely held town halls and seemed less than responsive to their calls and emails.

Which prediction can most likely be made based on this scenario?

A. If a candidate ran against Senator Smith, many people would vote for that candidate.

B. Even if a candidate ran against Senator Smith, people would not vote for either person.

C. If a candidate ran against Senator Smith, most people would continue to vote for Smith.

D. Even if Senator Smith decided not to run for office again, many people would vote for him as a write-in candidate.
