33% Of Voters Undecided?
A late poll out today on the undecided voter pool is actually quite shocking this close to an election – it shows one-third of voters still undecided. I thought the dems had this election all sewn up? But I did note some interesting poll numbers at RCP (no time to find them now) which showed 10 point leads in some races, but each candidate under 40%. Which means the race could go either way with 20% or more people yet undecided. The other interesting news in the numbers about undecided is the economy is the number one issue, which would bode well for the Reps. In fact, even though the response of favored party is 51-38 dems, this could be a simple unconcious response to the news reporting. Manny of the details show a strong potential for Reps to make the sale in this last weekend. Apparently the Dems have failed to do so. One thing is for sure, this group is not angry. Not good for the nutroots crowd.
Rush talked about the large number of absentee ballots and reminded people that those are counted later. So we may not have the final count for a while and not to get worried when we see the results Tues night/Wed morning.
Also the large number of absentee votes will skew the exit poll data.
I had a good laugh at the NYP report on the ‘exit-poll vault’. Does anyone really think that 2 reporters from every network and 2 reporters from AP, who will be allowed in the ‘vault’, are NOT going to leak out the polls?
Cookie? What cookie? Oh, that cookie.
Two different polls in NH-1 show a 14 point difference. Samples were the same, 300lv(small). Rep leads in one, Dem in the other. I hate this time of year.
But seriously, what kind of person describes themseleves as “likely to vote” but hasn’t decided, two days before THIS election who they’re voting for?
What more do you need to make up your mind? What bit of data that you haven’t already got is going to put your vote in one column or the other?
Yeesh.
