Undecided voters carry 'huge chunk' of weight in elections

last night between presidential candidates hillary clinton and donald trump in the second presidential debate. but the attention — is now even more focused on the undecided voters. 47 a-b-c’s lili zheng’s joins us live in the studio tonight. lili — you spoke with a political science expert today. what did he have to say? michelle — we’re just twenty-nine days away from the election. but — a good amount voters still have not made up their minds on who will get their vote come november. so it comes as no surprise — these debates can be crucial to snag supporters who tell us — they’re not fully sold on either candidate. a blank that says ‘none of the above'” track 1 that’s what bob o’donnell says — he wants to see on the presidential ballot in november. the election may be inching closer –but the greenwood, delaware resident says he’s not when it comes making a decision between donald trump or hillary clinton. it’s terrible. it’s like a cat and mouse game. they’re just constantly trying to bring the other candidate down, there’s absolutely no respect there track 2 o’donnell is not alone. a-b-c news reports this year — roughly one in nine americans haven’t made up their minds — making undecided voters the most coveted voting block. i mean, 10 or 15 percentage of the electorate is a huge chunk so i think both candidates will be trying to get that as we get closer to the end track 3 dr. sam hoff “huff” — a professor of history and political science at delaware state university — says he does expect the number of undecided voters to drop by twice the amount in the coming weeks — with two more debates currently scheduled. sunday’s showdown came days after a leaked video — of lewd comments about women made by trump back in 2005. donald trump/ presidential nominee: “certainly i’m not proud of it. but that was something that happened.” hillary clinton/ presidential nominee: “i think it’s clear it to anyone who heard it, it represents exactly who he is.” track 4 dr. hoff “huff” explains — a reduction of even more revelations like the tape and clinton’s email scandal — could help voters commit to one candidate. whether it’s the wikileaks or some of the other aspects, whether it’s being orchestrated by a group…we’re not sure but you would hope that both candidates are honest about their past. you might still get those revelations, but they wouldn’t impact it in a negative way track 5 as for undecided voters like tim christman — he’s looking for more transparency. more or less honesty from both end the next debate is scheduled for october nineteenth — at the university of nevada, las vegas. it will be moderated by fox news channel’s chris wallace. michelle — alright — thank you, lili. 47 a-b-c’s lili zheng reporting live in our studio tonight. for folks on delmarva — time is running
