Too many candidates seem to set their stance according to the latest poll. They also sometimes try to use the benefit of hindsight to change what their stance was is the past - sometimes intentionally misleading the public in doing so. Both are disingenuous to me and make me think less of the candidate. If a candidate constantly flip-flops then they’re next to useless since you have no real idea of what their stance will be on any topic. If a candidate has sound reasons why they’ve changed their stance on a topic and they’re not routinely changing their stances on every topic with the wind, then I generally don’t have a problem with that.
