I don’t think you’re wrong. I think you’re looking at the data and that’s what the data is telling you. Some would present alternative data or say “we’ll see during the election.” But I think the real pushback is due to possible knowledge of the future giving people the burden of temporary anxiety, even if it’s only 9 days away.

There are other people who are weary from these elections having gone on for so long now and were long ready for it to all be over months ago.

The whole reason for elections and democracy is for the administration and party in power to have a peaceful decent from power. Because without them, in history the only prior means were to overtake the administration by physical force and peaceful descents from power were rare and uncommon.

That had the negative ramifications of the power being concentrated by people with the strongest weapons, not the people with the best leadership, governance, and the most care towards it’s own populace, citizens, and constituency.

If I’ve answers this in any non-neutral or biased way, please let me know as I’m NPA —- the 3rd largest political affiliation.

Well, the election is the thing that is going to resolve the question.

Polls don't really trend though, they tend to settle. Of course significant news can cause people to reevaluate things, but it's probably the case in this election that most people have already made a pretty conclusive decision.
