Undecided Voters: What Are You Waiting For?

Haven't made up your mind? What will tip the scales for you?

A new NBC News/WSJ poll shows President Barack Obama at 48 percent and former Gov. Mitt Romney at 47 percent. That suggests there are still a bunch of undecided voters. The candidates are both out getting their messages to voters in a final push before the election. Are you still undecided? If so, what is going to make up your mind between now and tomorrow? What can either candidate do to sway your vote? Let us know in the comments and discuss.

Which political analysis do you think is right on the mark? Which websites/polls are you following? Vote in our poll and tell us in the comments.
