Independent Voters Questions

1. Independent voters are usually seen as people who don't want to be fully characterized with one political idea or group in order to preserve personal image. They don't really swing one way or the other by habit.

11. swing voters are just open to persuasion from either side, and undecided voters are people who wait a long time before deciding who to pick
