Ready to vote?
After listening to friends and acquaintances talk about their weariness and impatience with the presidential attack campaign, I used Twitter to ask: Are people really sick of the campaign, as I often hear? And does that mean they don't want to read/watch it anymore?
Responses came quickly:
dsilverman: Some are, some aren't. You're most apt to hear from those who are sick of it. doesn't mean they're the majority.
gabrieli: How can people not want to watch the debates, it's like watching a train wreck. Though the current tv version is more fun.
Natallini: Although I am weary of the campaign, this election is the most important I've faced and have to keep up with all media.
JennySeeley: I'm getting sick of the campaign. I can't watch the debates or read about it anymore. It's become too trivial.
I can't find any recent poll showing how many undecided voters are out there, but in early Sept. an AP-Yahoo poll indicated there were 18%. It's surely less now. (Indecision 2008 on the Daily Show says the undecided is 8%. Worth a look. But anyway...)
What's your political temperature? Are you ready for Nov. 4 now?
