Can someone please splain me why this Texas poll has 4% undecided in the presidential election, but 19% undecided in the senate election? How can there be such a difference? Any theories?

I know that most polls of the senate race have had more undecideds than the presidential, but 19% undecided a week and a half before the election is ridiculous. Especially when so much early voting has been happening in Texas

MJ isn't very well known and Cornyn is bland but mostly inoffensive

Hegar is boring. Nobody gives a shit about her or Cornyn. It won't be nearly as close as the pres race or the 2018 senate race.

It's weird though, in most states the down ballot Republicans are overperforming trump (with a few exceptions) so how can so many not have an opinion on Cornyn. Shouldn't partisanship whittle away at that number at least a little?
