I’d like to see all pollsters change their wording. It would be much more honest to call “undecideds” something like, “don’t cares” or even “the clueless”. Then, when Democrats stop fretting over a bunch of dumb fuck “centrists” the country will be better off. Duncan Black, as usual, gets it:
I didn’t quite catch who it was, but it was refreshing to hear someone NPR point out that “undecided voters” don’t know or care much about politics. I feel like our entire campaign coverage is directed at mythical people who spend months with furrowed brows studying every little bit of trivia about the campaigns before finally making their decisions. Most of them are stupid about politics and are barely interested.
