4. Undecided voters make up 6.6%, which is relatively small but still potentially decisive if the race between the second and third candidates tightens.
5. Joey Daluz's lead appears strong, but a significant consolidation of support between Osmeña and Hontiveros or a shift in undecided voters could impact the outcome.
Strategic Implications
For Joey Daluz, the strategy should focus on maintaining and slightly growing his base, possibly targeting undecided voters.
Tomas Osmeña and Dondon Hontiveros may consider coalition strategies or distinct differentiation in messaging to sway undecided and soft supporters.
Undecided voters, although few, can be kingmakers in a close race between the second and third.
