One pundit on some network made an interesting point the other day.
He said Carter/Reagan went into the final weekend before the election in 1980 in a statistical dead heat as well and folks sat down over the dinner table in those few days and said: "Okay, I gotta start thinking about this."
Reagan won by a healthy margin a few days later.
The pundit predicted something similar will happen in this election, the question at the dinner table being: "Do I vote for what I know about or do I vote for the unknown?"
Having noted the comparison above, however, I think its quite apparent that 90%of the people voting in this election have already made up their mind., which is probably quite a bit different than in 1980.
This is about the 10% who haven't and who will get them on election day.
