Who was undecided before last night? How many were there? 15? 20 undecided voters changed their mind (maybe)?

In 2022, a Gallup poll found that 43% of Americans identify as independents. If even a fraction of those Americans live in swing states and are on the fence for Biden, they could decide the election.

Yeah, because polling has been so accurate in the last 7 elections. Even Nate Silver can’t wrap his head around it.

So you believe every American has solidly made up their mind by now? That must mean you also think that any form of campaigning is a complete waste of time and energy right? Since everyone already knows exactly who they’re voting for?

Get a grip.
