USA Today has come up with 6 categories of voters who, it claims will "decide the election". Let's take a look.

1. True believers: 30% of the electorate - they break down 65% Obama, 33% McCain.

2. Fired up & favorable: 14% of the electorate - they break down 65% Obama, 35% McCain.

3. Firmly decided: 12% of the electorate - they break down 48% Obama, 50% McCain.

4. Up for grabs: 18% of the electorate - they break down 36% Obama, 41% McCain.

5. Skeptical & downbeat: 12% of the electorate - they break down 24% Obama, 35% McCain.

6. Decided but dissatisfied: 16% of the electorate - they break down 38% Obama 62% McCain.

I'd say that breakdown pretty well categorizes all elections, not just this one.
