5. Indies are usually Republicans... who got fed up.
But not leaning in a left direction. They are usually upset by Republican economic issues, and actually lean a bit more libertarian. I don't take much stock in any polls, ever. They include a 1/3 mix of Independents, when in reality.. they make up a fraction of that in voting. Indpendents are ROSS PEROT'S people, left over from that escapade in politics. They are fiscal conservatives... NOT independent thinkers. Democrats who are unhappy with their party, normally skew Green. Independents should NOT have 1/3 say in the polls.. their numbers are not equal (and they're mostly conservatives).
