The average voter has to hear a point seven times before it registers.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that people need to hear an idea or message multiple times before they truly understand and remember it. The average person may need to hear a new idea about 7 times before it really sinks in. This means that those trying to share an important message or convince people of something need to repeat it a number of times, rather than just saying it once, so that the average person can properly grasp the main point.
