    Undecided voters are largely a myth. When it comes to Donald Trump there is no one who hasn’t decided what they think of him, all the people who would be dumb enough to be undecided this late in the game are already Trump supporters

      If “undecided” means, “I’m going to vote, but I could vote for either Trump or [Democratic candidate],” you’re completely right. Those two sides of this election are so completely different that it’s comical to imagine someone who is a committed voter who still hasn’t made up their mind.

      When “undecided” means “I haven’t decided whether I will vote at all,” that’s still definitely a thing. Based on Harris’ recent appearances, she’s going to motivate a lot more people to vote for her than against her. I have a really hard time thinking that someone who wasn’t already committed to voting for Trump would only now be moved to vote for him because of Harris.

        It’s primarily this. Also people who hate both Trump and Biden (now Harris). They might say they are are “undecided” about casting a vote for an alternate candidate as a form of protest.
