      polling data has be broken since 2019. it’s almost like a bunch of old people died that answer their landline home phone from unknown numbers around that time. I wonder what happened? /s

      young people just don’t answer their phone and polling groups just don’t have a good solution to capture data from that group yet.

      They probably aren’t changing from Trump to Biden or vice versa. Instead, they are changing back and forth from undecided.

      If a Trump voter goes back to undecided and an undecided voter commits to Biden, that’s a net movement of one Trump voter to one Biden voter.
