First Read makes one last point about the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: "The survey found that 9% of the likely voters are up for grabs (meaning they're undecided or just leaning to a candidate), and these folks have more positive feelings toward Obama than Romney. Obama's job approval with them is 48% approve, 41% disapprove. What's more, Obama's fav/unfav with them is 46%/29%, vs. Romney's upside down 22%-49%. Bottom line: Our pollsters see more of an opportunity for Obama among these voters and more of an uphill climb for Romney."

(1,209 posts)will push the undecideds to make a choice "if the election were held today."
I would guess that many so-called undecided voters aren't really undecided. And many are not really likely voters.
