The undecideds normally break against the incumbent. They've had 4 years to know Obama. If they haven't convinced themselves to vote for him by now they likely won't.

This is largely a myth. Undecideds have broken toward the incumbent roughly as often as the other way around.

Then my poli sci teacher was wrong! Tongue

But you're likely right. I think undecideds broke for Bush in 2004.
