Related: About this forumIs tonight's Town Hall audience made up of undecided voters, or a mix?
I'm not going out on a limb to say that a lot who were undecided, Friday morning, probably aren't now. And I think we all know in which direction they may have shifted.

(26,262 posts)There has to be some control mechanisms in place. Especially considering the unbalanced and irrational nature of the unbalanced and irrational GOP candidate.

I refuse to believe they are intelligent and aware.
Just not credible.
All Dems must now declare that they are undecided.
What a farce

(26,262 posts)I just wonder how they will handle the ones who have honestly made a choice, now. Maybe they had an alternate panel set up.

(17,600 posts)Maybe 20% pro Hillary, 20% pro Trump, 5% Stein, 5% Johnson, 50% undecided, split evenly amongst leaners. Why would I include Stein and Johnson supporters, you ask? For interest, and to get a better sampling of the overall electorate within the audience.
Maybe not those exact percentages, but something other than supposedly undecided voters. If they are all claiming to be undecided at this point, then it will skew the audience toward a certain type of voter - mainly either indecisive or uninformed, or both. I don't think that type of voter will make a good town hall audience.
Then of course people could be lying about who they support or are leaning toward.
