"Re-interviewing 2,651 adults who had been questioned before the election, Mitofsky found that some 13% of the voters changed their minds in the last few days of the campaign "

This does not include the 8-12% who are undecided today.

McCain pulls it out.

Well I can tell you from my own personal experience that some times we do go in to the polling booth and change our mind at the last minute. My husband and I both did that in our Primary and in the general election - we voted early. At the last minute we both decided to vote for someone other than McCain in our Texas primary. He already seemed to have it but we voted for our favorite instead, during the primary. We both decided after getting into the booth. We told each other later what we had done. Same with early voting in the general election. We have a small bond issue and I was dead set against it, and at the last minute I voted for it. So we do some times change our mind when we go pull the lever. In 1972 it was my first time to vote and it was a very difficult decision.
