How many "undecideds" decided tonight?

[uppityperson]

I love Obama and love to hear him speak. Dang he looks and talks good. I mean, there was no comparison.

Chipmunk McBlinky was annoying in his "I won't look at you" behavior and lies. Obama spoke well, though overestimated the common IQ of the USAnians. I'm not wondering who "won", or who came off better.

I am wondering how many undecideds watched and decided.

1. Dunno, but I just decided that anyone still undecided must be brain dead! NT

2. Undecided like Obama 60/40 to 2:1

But 30-50% of them are STILL undecided.

We favor Obama at a slightly higher percentage than Pubs favor McCain, and we outnumber them in real numbers.

There are a lot of voters still undecided, but overall it's a clear win for Obama.

Not a blowout, but still a W, and the press looks like it'll spin it as such.

3. Are you speaking as an undecided or quoting something from somewhere?

Thanks

4. Probably not many.

If you haven't figured out who to vote for by now, you either aren't the sharpest crayon in the box or you just like attention. Probably a little of both.

Anyhow, undecideds will stay undecided until they're in the booth, and then they'll pick somebody because he reminds them of that one guy on the soap opera they used to watch in college.

Thirty-nine percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. Twenty-five percent thought John McCain won. Thirty-six percent saw it as a draw.

Forty-six percent of uncommitted voters said their opinion of Obama got better tonight. Thirty-one percent said their opinion of McCain got better.

Sixty-six percent of uncommitted voters think Obama would make the right decisions about the economy. Forty-four percent think McCain would.

6. But did it make any udecideds decide?

I'm guessing no. I've seen them interviewed election after election, and it's nearly always the same.

Undecided voter: "Well, I thought candidate X did really good, and even though candidate Y made some good points, I think candidate X won the debate"

Media clown: "So have you decided on candidate X?"

Undecided voter: "Well, no, I think I need to see a few more debates and their high school records and maybe a stool sample from each."

Seriously, up to and including on election day. I really think it's an attention thing. The longer I'm undecided, the likelier I'll be on the TV!

7. Let's canvass tomorrow and find out!

It's a perfect day for it. I'm dying to find out.

9. I think you will start to see the big break

If someone is undecided at this point they are testing the water/bandwagon types. They will break for Obama and begin to pull some "previously" decided with them. A couple point bounce in each of the next two weeks for Obama/Biden. Polls will show a 7-8 point lead, then 9-10.
