Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Could that be because her own message is blurred?"Still, Harris has maintained a slight but consistent lead over Trump in national polls ever since the Democratic convention and has lately scheduled a burst of interviews on 60 Minutes, Fox News, "The View," Stephen Colbert's late show, the popular women's podcast "Call Her Daddy," Univision, and a CNN town hall.
50% : Even when taking into account efforts like Elon Musk's supposed army of paid volunteers, Harris's on-the-ground efforts are three times the size of Trump's, according to the Washington Post: "She boasts more staff, more volunteers, a larger surrogate operation, more digital advertising, a more sophisticated smartphone-based organizing program and extra money for extraneous bells and whistles typically reserved for corporate product launches and professional sports championships.
43% : Northampton is an unusual cross-section of the country -- one of 26 'pivot' counties nationwide that backed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
29% : Whatever their numbers, in an election in which polls have consistently recorded essentially a swing-state dead heat between Harris and Trump, even that tiny number might be enough to tilt the final result.
24% : They didn't watch the two conventions on TV or even get around to watching the presidential debate between Harris and Trump.
24% : His age, seeming infirmity, and catastrophically bad debate performance against Trump cast a pall of depression over many Democratic organizations and activists, and it seemed Trump then had a path toward a clear victory.
16% : With the polls showing a razor-thin difference between Harris and Trump among those who have indeed made up their minds, it's hard to pin down exactly how many people may still be undecided.
