The polls are showing that the real undecideds are leaning overwhelmingly to Biden. Most of them haven't been undecided for a while now and the shift is pretty clear.

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”


Sorry if you've heard that so many times you're sick of it.

with his racism, misogyny and incompetence. If they haven’t made up their mind about him by now they’ll probably be just fine with more of the same for 4 years.

They don't want to say they are voting for Trump, so they claim they're "Undecided".

They are undecided in the sense that they are undecided on whether to vote for Trump or stay home. We just thought undecided as in they can't decided between the two candidates. For a lot of them, Biden was never a choice.

I wonder if there's a notice put out, or if you get paid, or if you have a script to follow. Are they on every news program?

So it's possible that Biden can expand his lead when undecideds break.

...felt like it's a strange inconsistency to be amped up enough about the election to want to be on a discussion panel on TV and yet at the same time be undecided about who you support. I don't know. Just seems weird to me.

They vote in Presidential elections, mostly because their parents raised them to, but they don't pay much attention, have other hobbies, have a sense of "they both suck" cool, or are just generally not that interested.

It's OK not to be interested in things.

All these attacks on undecided voters is silly, to be honest. Make your case for that audience. That's it.
