Anonymous in comment #10, the % of undecided voters is key to making sense of the results from decided voters. If 43% of “decided” voters support you, that’s great, but if 90% of poll respondents are undecided, then you don’t even have the support of 5 in 100 respondents. If 0% are undecided then you have the support of 43 in 100 poll respondents. That’s a huge difference, and the % of undecided is key to making sense of that.

Plus, I know that the campaign did not originally have the #’s reported to them this way (as “43% of decided voters”) because their pollster told me as much. They asked the pollster to refigure the results without the undecideds on the very day I was encouraged to call the pollster to confirm the #’s. They wanted to take respectably good results (”24% of respondents would vote for Smith”) and make them look even better. They managed to confuse the issue enough that the Dothan Eagle and the Southern Political Report reported inflated #’s, but poll #’s are not typically reported without the undecideds factored in.

I am with either Tim James or Harri Anne Smith. They have real conservative GOP credentials.
