The percentage of undecided voters in the US can vary depending on the specific election and polling data. Generally, it hovers around 5-10% leading up to an election, but this can fluctuate based on campaign developments, candidate performance, and external factors. Polling organizations track this number to gauge the level of uncertainty in the electorate.
Approximately 10-20% of college students are typically considered undecided majors, meaning they have not declared a specific area of study. This percentage may vary depending on the institution and the year.
It can vary based on definitions and surveys, but generally around 20-30% identify as liberal, while around 30-40% identify as conservative in the US. The remaining portion often identifies as moderate or independent.
The percentage of registered voters who participate in US elections can vary by election. In recent years, turnout rates have ranged from around 50-60% in midterm elections to 60-65% in presidential elections.
The 40% of people who selectively participate in elections are often referred to as swing voters or undecided voters. They are individuals who may switch their support between different political parties or candidates, making them a key target for campaigns.
According to the Washington Post, "Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006." (It should be noted that even though there was a slightly larger turnout than in 2006, about 58% of voters stayed home.) Also, according to most polls, the makeup of the electorate this time was different: there was a large "enthusiasm gap," such that Republicans voted in larger percentages than Democrats did; also, younger voters decreased, as did minority voters; and older voters, as well as white voters, came out in larger numbers than in 2008. 82.5 million people voted, many of whom were spurred by anger over the lingering recession. But it is worth noting that this number was far fewer than the more than 131 million people who voted in the presidential election of 2008-- generally, presidential elections bring out a much greater number of voters than midterm elections do.
