 It was also interesting to see the polling results from the Republican side.

While both sides have vested interests in presenting polls that put them in a favorable light, the most rational approach is to present the figures as they are in order to device strategies to improve the ratings. Skewing the poll numbers is a risky tactic that only makes sense for the MSM.

The high number of undecided voters are more likely Trump- (or RFK jr) aligned than Kamala-aligned since there is tangible establishment-crafted stigmatization associated with Trump (8 years of smearing in a dozen Western nations) but no MSM-created stigma associated with Kamala.
