In their last poll, Gallup found that 45% are registered as independents. They are voting Democrat by 2:1. Most pollsters are counting them at about 35%. They are the ones who are going to be deciding elections for the foreseeable future. That's why their polls show us leading the mid terms by 4 - 6 points, but we are winning special elections by bigger margins.
