We keep hearing about Democratic and Republican enthusiasm but what about Independents?

[Quixote1818]

Polling suggests most independents lean Democratic, so if you add them to the Democratic numbers how does that change things? Anyone have any interesting polling they can share?

1. Independents decide elections, yet they're rarely polled

I've always found that odd...

2. most independents are not really independent

they are just as partisan and a reliable party voter as those registered with a party.

the rest of them go which way the wind blows .
