* that Harris/Walz is a winning team. Undecided voters (who, for whatever mysterious reason have no clue what's going on) will often choose who to support based on what others around them are doing. They want the "safe" choice and let others do their deciding for them. Everyone wants to support a WINNER!!

If Harris/Walz is viewed as a winning team (even if the polling org is less than stellar) then it benefits us to crow loudly about it as though the Clouds Above had parted ways and The Lord God had declared his preference.
