Two recent Change Research polls affirm what seasoned political consultants and observers know: at this point in an election cycle the election cake is already baked. The large percentage of those who will vote in this year’s elections have made up their minds for whom they will vote. Fewer than 10 percent are undecided.

Seldom do you hear conversations among friends about candidates or their platforms. And, except for candidate signs on public right-of-way’s, few private yards have signs.
