That's great. The ones from CNN,CBS, and FOX went to Obama.
Actually, only 4 went for Obama on Fox. You might want to try telling the truth sometime. It would make people think you are honest. Actually, they both had people switching sides but overall, more people either stayed leaning to McCain or actually switching toward him.
Another thing, do you really think that those people are undecideds? Hell no they aren't. There are very few true undecideds at this stage of the game, but silly people will believe anything a news station tells them, even when it is pure BS.
Yes, a group of 6 undecideds in a state of over 5,000,000 voters is hardly a representative sample. I think just as telling (I'm assuming this was the same NBC group) was when they asked if any of them KNEW ANYONE who would NOT vote for Obama because of race and ONE HAND went up.
The next question was if any of them KNEW ANYONE who would NOT vote for McCain because of Palin, and EVERY HAND WENT UP.
BTW, in these types of settings "do you know anyone" is a way of teasing out the answer to "would you".
Undecideds Laughing At, Not With, McCain - Swampland - TIME (http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/10/undecideds_laughing_at_not_wit.html - broken link)
One telling paragraph which sums up the article........ The group of 50 uncommitted voters should have at least been receptive to McCain—Republicans and Independents outnumbered Democrats in the group by almost 4 to 1, and they started the evening with much warmer responses to McCain than to his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama. But by the time it was all over, so few of them had declared their support for McCain that there weren’t enough for Greenberg to separate them into a post-debate focus group. Meanwhile, the Obama supporters had to assemble in two different rooms to keep their discussion groups manageable.
