12. Unless people are lying, that quote makes it worse not better

I personally find it hard to believe that 10 percent of people who voted for Biden now support Trump. Supporting Trump is different than saying they are undecided. Saying they are now with Trump is not a case of them not yet having "come home".

I hope this is a bad sample. Consider that samples now have about a 2 percent response rate.
