They've done studies, and if someone is leaning towards a particular candidate a month prior to the election, that's the person they'll probably vote for.

I asked why and he said, "She doesn't know who she's voting for. Who the hell doesn't know this late in the game?" I guess that was the deal breaker.

So, that's an interesting (and interestingly sad) fact. I recently read that something like 1 in 7 voters were undecided between the two candidates.
