Crawl on CNN just now..."20% of formerly undecided voters still undecided."

[albacore]

Pretending for a moment that figure is anywhere near true...What kind of person is "undecided" in this race?
Not enough contrast between the candidates?
Are people really that uninformed...?...that stupid?

[ret5hd]

1. no, just that needing of attention.

[viva la]

2. Yeah, they can count on being interviewed on CNN and put on a panel

If there really are that many "undies," I hope most break for Harris.
But I find it strange that "likely voters" would be undecided.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Doesn't That Mean 80% HAVE Decided?

Besides, I don't think undecided means what we think it means in regular language.
I think a lot of "undecideds" simply haven't been paying that much attention & what it likely means is the don't know. Not that they're mulling anything over. Just procrastinating.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. No it means MORE than 80% have decided

Read the statement carefully- it says “20% of previously undecided voters” which means if previously, 10% of voters were undecided, now just 2% are.

It’s a weird, confusing, awkwardly phrased statement, and I don’t really get the point.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Which Was My Point

Pretty sure we're making the same point.
Focusing on the 20% seems silly, when the inverse actually has more meaning.

[dchill]

4. Um... They're not FORMERLY undecided, then, are they?

Logic poop.

[anciano]

5. Agreed...

absolutely incomprehensible.

[Mike Nelson]

6. CNN...

... needs some new editors, preferably some who know how to use the word "formerly" properly!

[MLAA]

7. I think they are too embarrassed to just own up to being afraid of women, afraid of people of color, afraid,

Afraid, afraid, afraid. They are TFG voters if they say they are still undecided.

[debm55]

11. Agree, was just going to post.Thank you , MLAA

[Chipper Chat]

8. Wow. Breaking News for sure.

[BoomaofBandM]

9. If they are still undecided they are not formerly undecided.

Or am I just confused? Or are 80% of formally undecided now decided? And who have they decided for? And where do journalists go to school?

[servermsh]

10. Reminds me of the skit done by Franken and Ornstein

On Franken's radio show, where they drilled down into the respondents answering "Don't know".

[Skittles]

12. these supposedly "undecided" voters are fucking morons

seriously

[dsc]

13. My take is that this means

that if when Biden was running 10 percent of voters were undecided, now 2 percent are.

[Iggo]

14. Um...that's impossible...right?

Or is it like that standup comedian guy who said, “I used to do drugs. I still do. But I used to, too.”

[getagrip_already]

15. Undeclared, not undecided....

I doubt there is a large pool of undecided voters.

Undeclared, that i can believe.

The bullwark is saying a lot of republicans will secretly vote for harris, but they wont say that publically.

They want a blowout for harris.

But on the other side, are racist/mysoginistic voters who dont want to be shamed.

I suspect the gop for harris is the larger group. But these are borrowed votes. They will go back for the next non maga candidate.

[NewHendoLib]

18. Fuck CNN.

[mucholderthandirt]

19. I'm sorry, but there are no undecided voters.

There are people who will make this claim, but they're liars. They're going to vote for Trump but they don't want people to think they're stupid, insane, or both.

If there was a normal Republican running against Kamala Harris, then I might be persuaded that some might still be going back and forth on a couple of issues. But between Trump and Harris? Oh, be serious. You either have sense, or you're a dimwitted MAGA voter. There's nothing in between in this race. You are sane, or you're a raving lunatic.

[Generic Brad]

20. Formerly undecided voters still undecided?

Why would they refer to continued undecided as former undecided? I think they need to overhaul their AI headline writer. It’s a moron.

[orthoclad]

21. Trumpers go cryptic

Fewer yard signs and flags.
"Undecided" is code for "undercover".

[BannonsLiver]

22. This is America

Of course there are people that dumb. We have an inexhaustible supply of dumb and crazy people.
