People start paying attention when an election is called. Polls before that often aren't representative of their opinions. With that said, I think the current political context, with Trump, the LPC leadership election, the PM change, people have been paying more attention than usual so I think we won't see large swings. But some are definitely plugging in now. The undecided number is just 6% today. In mid-February it was 11%.
So yeah some number of people have begun absorbing the (mis) informational firehose.
