Debates Likely Last Chances to Sway Voters, but Undecideds Unpredictable

Please read and share:

"Barring any kind of major “October surprise”—

…terrorist attack, disaster, or domestic unrest, the VP debate, and the two remaining presidential debates, are the last major things between now and Election Day that have the chance to sway voters to move away from their current leanings. If things continue as they have been recently then, among voters leaning towards anyone we can expect Trump to lose some support, Clinton to gain some support, and third-party candidates to lose some support to give Clinton an overall slight edge. The real question is what will the undecideds choose to do, because there are enough of them to crown either candidate the victor, but they remain unpredictable and, frankly, strange in their thinking and habits. Despite Clinton’s edge, this election outcome will likely remain unpredictable until its final days."
