Pollster John Zogby: "The two candidates go into the third and final debate tied. TIED!!! There is no major sub-group movement to report, but the undecided voters give us the real key to what is happening behind the scenes. Today's three-day track reveals that only 11% of the undecided voters feel that President Bush deserves to be re-elected. That is the lowest figure yet. Two in five -- 40%-- feel it is time for someone new and 49% are undecided about his future.

1. Then 11% are not "undecided", are they ??

5. CNN's Schneider said yesterday Bush has a problem with 47% job approval!

WILLIAM SCHNEIDER, CNN SR. POLITICAL ANALYST (voice-over): President Bush has a problem. His job approval rating has been going down. According to the latest CNN/"USA Today"/Gallup poll, before the debate started, 54 percent of Americans approved of the way the president was handling his job.

After the first debate, the president's job approval was down to 50. After the second debate, 47. Presidents who have won reelection, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton have averaged 63 percent job approval around election time.

13. William Schneider of the American Enterprise Institute

Media whore. Whoremonger. Whoremaster.

Schneider's not quaking in his boots too much, never you fear. He knows that Bush doesn't really have to win; he only has to "win."

7. I think 'undecideds' are undecided because...

... they don't have to make a solid decision until Election Day, so they won't. Maybe it's just that simple - they're not indecisive, they just won't make things official.

Call me crazy, but I have a distinct feeling that this is Kerry's year.

[bush equals idiot]

8. Any undecided, and I use that term with the greatest

sympathy for their mental illness, has already concluded they don't want to vote for Bush. They've seen the human hemorrhoid for the last four years. They just haven't been struck with intelligence lightning yet to openly endorse Kerry. They just want to be coddled.

Rock-a-bye lullaby.

12. Hard as it may be for us DU'ers to believe...

but a lot of people int his country don't pay a hell of a lot of attention to politics. Most of them don't start paying attention to the campaign until Labor Day. Many of these people don't like Bush at all, but don't know enough about John Kerry to form an opinion. For many voters living west of the Appalachians, they had probably never heard of Kerry (or much of him, anyway) until he started winning in the primaries. Right now, they're still sizing him up to make sure that Kerry is presidential material -- and his calm demeanor in the second debate probably reassured them. Most of them probably want to see Kerry one more time before sealing the deal. Look for a big shift over the weekend.

9. "vote for the winner" types

I ran across a few of them during the primaries. The ones who told you "I want to vote for the winner." I don't even know what the hell that means. I always said, yep, Kerry's a winner for sure! That's why we have to stay positive about Kerry at all times, these "undecideds" are really "bandwagon" voters.

10. screw these "undecideds" and go after the base!
