Reduce Gas Price

Worthington, OH (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

The new year is heating up with Republican hopefuls battling it out to be on the ticket in November. As aptly-wing Americans weigh in on their favorite candidate, Undecided Voters still have 10 months to make a choice. One in five Registered Voters is neither attached to President Obama nor someone from the Republican party, according to the January American Pulse Survey. This 20.6% of the voting population make up the Undecided Union, a voter group likely to be influential in choosing the next Commander in Chief.

In fact, even though Undecided Voters havent made up their minds, 38% dont reckon President Obama deserves reelection even as 11.4% do. This may possibly indicate that many members of the Undecided Union are waiting for just the aptly candidate.

Undecided Voters are more likely to be females (69.5%) compared to all Registered Voters (52.5%) and are generally younger (43.8 vs. 46.7). Fewer Undecided Voters (48.9%) are married compared to Registered Voters (57.3%), and their average income is lower ($ 52K vs. $ 62K). The Undecided Union has a slightly larger percentage of Midwesterners vs. all Registered Voters (29.7% vs. 26.9%) and consists of more Independents (38.1% vs. 28.1%).

Undecided Voters show considerably less confidence in the governments policies to get the nation back on track and to lower unemployment:

Confident/Very Confident Government Policy Will Lower Unemployment

Registered Voters: 20.1%

Undecided Voters: 10.5%

Confident/Very Confident Government Policy Will Get the Nation Back on Track

Registered Voters: 23.0%

Undecided Voters: 13.4%

Further, only 16.4% of Undecided Voters say the nation is humanizing somewhat/momentously even as 54.2% say its in decline. But, a quarter of all Registered Voters (25.9%) have noticed improvement.

Although they appear to be more discontented with the shape of the nation, Undecided Voters are really less likely to be paying attention to Election coverage (at least not yet). Just under half (49.9%) say they pay some or a lot of attention to the Election and 46.7% are following the Republican candidates. The majority of Registered Voters (72.2%) say they pay attention to Election coverage and 71.0% are following the Republican candidates.

Undecided Voters also appear more sensitive to increases in the cost of living. They are more likely than all Registered Voters to anticipate price increases for food, clothing and gasoline. 86.0% estimate fuel costs to rise in the next 6 months (vs. 84% of Registered Voters) and 79.7% estimate food prices to increase as well (vs. 76.2% of Registered Voters). The majority (59.3%) also believes the cost of clothing will be higher 6 months from now. 58.3% of Registered Voters agree.

Even as the nation and cost of living appear to be the largest issues for Undecided Voters, half of this group (50.1%) would also like to see Congress take up the issue of climate change this year. 20.1% dont reckon the issue needs to be addressed even as 29.8% arent sure. Fewer Registered Voters (42.8%) are concerned with climate change and nearly as many (39.5%) dont reckon the issue must be addressed by Congress this year. 17.8% of all Voters arent sure.
