CNN Poll: Only 1% of likely voters are still undecided

[Dr. Jack]

This is based on the CNN poll from today showing Biden with a 16 point lead. Chris Cillizza (I know, ewww) has an article out looking at two key numbers from that poll.

1. Only 1% of likely voters are still undecided on whether to back Trump or Biden. Over 90% of likely voters are absolutely locked into their choice.

2. 8% of voters say they are still open to changing their mind on who they are voting for. Not likely to but are still at least open to seeing how things play out. Sounds like a lot and a very, very small hope for Trump to close the gap, even a little. However, most of those 8% of voters who are open to changing their minds are Trump supporters, not people backing Biden.


So the number of true undecideds are as close to 0 as you can get, while people open to changing their mind are mostly soft Trump supporters, which of course means, at best Trump can hold on to his current supporters which puts him down by 16 points. However, some are willing to abandon him. Biden doesn't have that problem.

1. Dumpy is toast. Now lets use his gross unpopularity to ride the rest of the GOP out of town.

8. The last 14 days destroyed what very little chance he had left

Ramming through an ultra right wing justice, his talk about refusing to leave the white house when he loses, his taxes leaking, his disastrous debate performance, the anemic job numbers, becoming severely ill with COVID along with pretty much everyone in his orbit. I've never seen so many catastrophic news stories hit a campaign all at once. Anyone with even a minimal amount of sanity is looking at this and saying "ok, Trump needs to go".

2. Hilarious

"8% of voters say they are still open to changing their mind on who they are voting for ... Sounds like a lot and a very, very small hope for Trump to close the gap, even a little."

MEDIA: THE RACE COULD STILL TIGHTEN, PEOPLE!!!

"However, most of those 8% of voters who are open to changing their minds are Trump supporters, not people backing Biden."

Oh.

15. I think Joe will be fine. He wasn't my first (or second) choice but he will be fine.

That said, I have never been more excited to vote against someone than I am to vote against Trump. The energy and enthusiasm folks have to kick this fucker out is palpable.

3. At this point any so-called undecideds are attention hounds...

Similar to click-bait in human form.

11. They weren't held enough as children...

or possibly dropped on their heads one time too many.

4. Good to hear

Seemed unlikely that anybody could be undecided at this point.

6. I'm just worried about state legislatures and courts...

intentionally making it difficult to vote by implementing technicalities that could toss-out legitimate votes.

9. That is where the game is being played now

What you said and I am suspecting sabotage on election day. Can you imagine what taking the power gird down in Philadelphia or Milwaukee on election day can mean.

12. Oh jeez.... I didn't even think of that.

[The Magistrate]

10. That, Sir

Will put quite a crimp in the 'undecided voter focus group and town hall' promoters....

13. Kick

[gristy]

14. Good news. Bad article.

11 paragraphs, and not one of them says what the poll result actually is. We are just told the difference.

[Iwasthere]

16. Yet many that asked questions last might at Bidens town hall were introduced as undecided
