I guess it could be argued that all these undecideds will still vote for Obama in spite of their disapproval?

I think most independents view Romney and Obama as virtually the same candidate and Newt as a clown so yes, a number of them will break for Obama. Too bad Paul is slipping because I think he would provide a clear alternative to Obama.

I would think that anyone who is introspective enough to be undecided at this point is more likely to either sit out the election, or vote for a change. I would think that Obama would be hoping that this demographic sits it out at the next election.

You could be right, but there's still quite awhile until the election and if the economy improves that might change their disapproval a bit. And like I said I think most independents wouldn't view Romney as much of a change.

OK, but do independents = undecideds?

I know there are folks who will vote one way or the other, no matter if their candidate is a dead mule, but how many of these undecideds are specifically identified with one party or the other? I ask this because my mother is a media indoctrinated Dem voter, but right now she is completely undecided as to which way she will vote. I have never in my 43 years heard her proclaim that she was not sure whether she would vote Dem or not. She is doing that right now, though. Maybe she is not as indoctrinated as I once thought.
