Undecided voters: should we worry?

Only about 1 in 20 voters appear to be undecided, about 5% of likely voters (compared to 1 in 7 in 2008). And they may count less than we imagine. As Timothy Egan writes in The New York Times, "Undecided voters were not among the millions of Americans who watched the first presidential debate. Of all voters, the undecided were the least interested in the debates, a Washington Post poll found last week." Egan goes on, with his fine humor, to address undecided voters: "After the debate, a CNN focus group of your type found that eight of you were now leaning toward Romney, and eight of you were coming over to the Obama side. No real movement, in other words."
