Independent voters - what will they do?

The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press issued a report in July that captures the anti-incumbent sentiment that has grown over the past political season: Among other findings, they say that "Independents disapprove of the performance of both party's leaders by margins of more than two-to-one."


And from Jackie Salit and Fred Newman's Talk/Talk, Newman remarked last Sunday that "The issue is that independents are ambivalent as to whether they want to play hardball to get rid of the Democrats."
