MAYBE they don't want to tell you (which would indicate they support the candidate the media may not wish).
MAYBE they have decided but do not wish to say, because then they would be confronted with - but why won't you vote for the other guy.
Maybe the 5-10% will fall, mostly, for McCain, as I believe they will.
(AND THEY DIDN'T)
That will be enough.

Undecided Voters Probably Have Decided

Many voters who say they haven't decided between the two presidential candidates actually have decided. They just don't know it, finds a new study.
With the race to the White House being fiercely fought as ever, the undecided voters could make all the difference, and so while polls can give current trends in voter choice for one candidate over another, albeit possibly inaccurately, they don't tell us where the undecideds stand. Still, if they could cough up their true opinions, a different picture might emerge. "Undecided voters may have decided implicitly before they know that they have explicitly," said researcher Brian Nosek, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia.
Hidden preferences
Nosek and his colleagues analyzed survey data collected on a research and educate Web site called Project Implicit in which visitors can complete a test that measures their implicit associations on a variety of topics. In this survey, more than 25,000 participants completed a computer task that measured their unexpressed views regarding presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
