TL;DR Summary

Turkish President Erdogan is facing his toughest election battle in years due to a struggling economy and criticism of his government's response to recent earthquakes. While some earthquake survivors are considering voting for Erdogan, others are turning away from him and the opposition alliance has promised to rebuild ties with the US, EU, and NATO. Erdogan may have the support of Turkey's Syrian population, but both presidential hopefuls running against him have promised to send them back. The struggling economy is the single-most important reason for Erdogan's potential defeat, according to experts. Many earthquake survivors have been displaced and may not be able to vote.
