I have a question about the percentages at the top of this page...

I don't know where else to ask it. Are these based on all DU members or just ones who have been active within some certain timeframe? I mean could it be that a large part of that 36% undecided are actually folks who haven't been to the site in years, lost their password, threw ace-deuce, or dropped out to the Mexican Riviera (wish that last one was me)?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

A small 'sample' of the U.S. electorate.
