Anytime there are such large numbers of "undecideds" it's likely they are low-information, and an opportunity for Trump (or any unscrupulous politician, but really, Trump) to lie to them and turn them to whatever side they wish.

Since 170M Americans look at TT, I wonder of how much of it was TT propaganda itself.
The amount of propaganda on TT is rather huge, though I won't say any different than US media, just more of it these days oriented to how 'good' China is.

To be fair, self-promotion is a good kind of propaganda to broadcast. It inspires healthy competition.
If tomorrow China becomes a global beacon of high-quality and affordable healthcare, maybe US will actually feel some pressure to fix its issues.

The impetus for this is largely from Congress in both parties. Public support often doesn't align with congressional action and it doesn't stop them.
Vote for your congress members.
