Do endorsements by politicians/celebrities/unions/political organizations have any impact on your voting?

Issues may help me make a decision, but they are by no means the only variable. I have to consider my....feel...for a person. And for that matter, my impression as to what they might do if an unexpected issue arose.My sole criteria for voting for someone is where they stand on the issues.
Endorsements mean nothing at all to me.
Possibly.
If I like and/or agree with the thoughts of a person, their endorsement of another person may influence my decision.
However, since I:
- Dislike/disagree with most if not all politicians.
- Think the vast majority of celebrities have almost no sensible argument when it comes to politics.
- Consider unions a necessary evil at best, and a conflict of interest when public sector.
- Disagree with most political organizations.
I'd say in general...no.
