ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Now to your comments.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Many of you responded to our segment on Friday about that mysterious political species, the undecided voter. We described the demographic profile of a typical undecided voter. Most of them are female, and they're generally older, less educated, and more religious than your average decided voter.
SIEGEL: I talked with Constance Griffin, a woman in Nashville, Tennessee, who more or less fit that description. And she said that she has made up her mind, many times.
Ms. CONSTANCE GRIFFIN: It changes almost per conversation or per article or - it's very much so a seesaw effect, back and forth, back and forth, as I weigh the positives and the negatives.
NORRIS: Most of you were not sympathetic. Mary Rungee(ph) of Chicago felt strongly that the interview was not worthwhile.
SIEGEL: She writes, it was clear that these are people who never learned to and don't care to think for themselves, a quality that is an insult to the sensibilities of your audience. So please stop giving these people air time. I don't care what someone is thinking on an Obama day or a McCain day.
NORRIS: Ouch. Well, Jacqueline Zenko(ph) from New York City had a similar response. She writes, these people have nothing of interest to say. They don't have strong feelings about any pressing issue of the day. And now they're being forced to make a critical decision based on nothing but their guts. They'll tell you one thing today and take the opposite view tomorrow. I realize the campaigns have to deal with them, but why do we?
SIEGEL: Well, we did hear from at least one person who did sympathize with Constance Griffin. Kevin Johnson(ph) is from Indialantic, Florida, and he told us that he is undecided too, although he said he doesn't fit the profile that we described.
NORRIS: He writes, I am a 39-year-old male. I have a doctoral degree. And I have closely watched all the campaigning, victory speeches, and debates of the last year. I am keenly interested in the candidates and the future of our country. Exasperated and fatigued after an intense presidential campaign year, I'm having difficulty accepting that no one candidate measures up. I strongly like and dislike things about both candidates, and I have until Tuesday to decide between them.
SIEGEL: Well, as soon as you decide what you'd like to say, send us a message. Go to our Web site, npr.org, and click on "Contact Us" at the top of the page. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
