WASHINGTON — One-quarter of the nation’s registered voters are uncommitted to a candidate in this year’s presidential race.
The latest Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 27 percent have little, if any, preference for President Barack Obama or Republican hopeful Mitt Romney.
Call them the “persuadables” — a group that’s expected to have a big say in determining who wins the White House.
Both Obama and Romney are spending big money to woo them. It’s a delicate task because these voters also hate pandering.
For now, the candidates are making their cases to the political middle on issues such as immigration and economic growth. They’re also highlighting stories of people who have bounced back from economic setbacks.
