I think polls with more "undecideds" are more indicative of hard support, where fewer undecideds--meaning that the pollsters likely prompted someone for an answer even if they had only the mildest of preferences--may include more "softer" support in a candidate's numbers (i.e. people less likely to feel committed to that candidate, more open to switching to someone else).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
