Hi blogic, from what I've seen on television so far, they have been pointing out the gaffes of both candidates. And you are right, the most important opinion is the public's opinion, however, polls do reflect a snapshot of what the public's opinions are at that time. I don't think either one of us is naive enough to believe that the polls or the debates are the here-all-end-all of the race. Twenty days in politics is like 20 weeks during which anything can happen. Personally, I think it's going to be external events (Ex. Iraq or something else) that is going to push the undecideds off the fence and those events might also influence voter turnout. We'll just have to wait and see.
