Who are the idiots that answer undecided to all these polls especially when the polls often have two policy choices which are complete opposites? One gets the feeling these people would say they were undecided when asked what their favorite pizza topping was. Do people become like this over a lifetime, or are they just born with a gray heart of neutrality?

Generally people who make their decision after the facts are presented, instead of before anything is said for their partisan choice, should be the norm.

So it is not possible to not be decided? I wonder just what you would answer to all the questions asked by pollsters. You have your mind made up about every problem?

a lot of us Idiots are educated folks who try to get as much knowlege on an issue as possible before we make a decision. We do not follow stupid slogans like hope and change like a herd of cattle knowing they are going to be fed. and well educated people learn to think for themselves over a lifetime. I never went to a government school so I can actually think for myself not what I was told to think.

Many pollsters formulate questions and arguments that are so facile and sophomoric that they can't be taken seriously; oversimplified nonsense without a shred of nuance or perspective. In these cases, to be undecided is a sign of wisdom.
