Undecided Voters

Interesting...

Poll: One in Seven Voters Still Persuadable - FOXNews.com Elections

Poll: One in Seven Voters Still Persuadable
AP poll shows 14 percent of likely voters still haven't made up their minds with just days before the elections and are fertile hunting ground for McCain and Obama.

One reason that Bush was successful is that pollsters found out that there really aren't any undecided voters. They just can't say it out loud.

I never thought I would see or hear the words "Bush" and "successful" in such close proximity to each other.

We can describe him with just one letter:


"L"

He ran a successful campaign both times. Both times, the press ate out of Rove's hand.

You're right, he is the absolute worst president ever.

It is difficult for me to understand how anyone can be undecided at this point really. Even if your choice is for someone else, there are no states where there are just two names on the ballot.

I've been reading everywhere about undecideds #'s being pretty significant..I am beginning to think we are the minority as far as seeking out information on politics.

14% is the pretty consistent number of voters I have seen in numerous places listed as undecided. That amazes me. This is an election for the Commander in Chief of our country. I believe that should be important enough for you to research....at the very least, write-in a candidate you DO believe in ....

Yes. . .I'm always surprised by the people that haven't decided at this point. But I'm finding that it is a lot of people. They don't like either candidate. I do think that McCain will pull many of them though. I might be wrong, but that is the feeling I get from many of the ones I know. Most that I have talked to personally were Clinton supporters or very conservative Republicans that feel McCain is too liberal. I think it is going to be closer than people think.

The problem with republicans that think McCain is too liberal, they CERTAINLY aren't going to vote further left with Obama.

Well, exactly! That's why I said that I think McCain will actually pull a lot of them. The problem I hear though is that some of them won't vote at all. I remind them that if they don't Obama might win.
