Uncommitted Voters Pick Kerry
Uncommitted Voters Pick Kerry

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2004
CBS) Uncommitted voters who saw the third and final debate between President Bush and John Kerry gave the Democrat the edge over the president by a margin of 39-25 percent, according to a CBS News poll. Another 36 percent called it a draw.

Immediately after the debate, CBS News interviewed a nationally representative sample of more than 200 debate watchers assembled by Knowledge Networks who were "uncommitted voters" - voters who are either undecided about who to vote for or who have a preference but say they could still change their minds

While the uncommitted voters came away from the debate believing that both men had clear positions on the issues, Kerry's position improved dramatically.

The percentage that thought he had clear positions almost doubled during the debate: Before the third debate, only 31 percent said Kerry had clear positions on the issues. After the debate, that number jumped to 59 percent.

2. Kerry was marvelous.....
but what a stubborn group independents are!
No passion, no commitment, they act like
prima donna's who must be wooed and pampered
to finally make a decision.

3. They take their time
because they think it will help them make a wise decision.

Personally, I don't see how anyone can be undecided at this point, but I've been determined to get bush out since the second week of december in the year 2000.

I've known many people who just refuse to commit to a candidate until after the debates, since they feel they don't feel they can get any good information from adverts, etc. They might say "I'm leaning towards Kerry," or "I could still vote for bush," but they don't really commit themselves until after they "see for themselves" at the debates.

The 36% who thought it was a tie ... I'm thinking most of those will go for kerry eventually.

4. keep this kicked up
There are too may negative threads staying up at the top. Sure we are not afraid to examine ourselves, but some of them have got a little ridiculous. This one deserves to stay pinned at the top.

7. Watching these preening self described Independents..
quite literally makes me sick.

Some of them are so god dammed ignorant yet so attention starved at the same time you almost feel sorry for them.

I can't even imagine the depth of self denial one must slip into to not see the obvious damage BushCo has done to thsi country.

Thes people should be ashamed of themselves and should be shamed by the rest of us as well.

F'em...brig back Soilent Green.
