Who shall we blame for the outcome of the polls?

I agree with Linda Chavez, the chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity, with the statements that she made about the 2016 election on "Texas Insider". Her point was basically not to blame both of the candidates and blame the people that didn’t vote and are registered to vote. She pointed out a couple facts and some good arguments on the people, who was eligible to vote but didn’t. she stated that the more voters there will be, the better chance the right president being picked.

Within the past elections, we’ve all know and heard that undecided voters get a little attention and we don’t think they matter at all. According to the author, the reasoning of many undecided voters in this year election is because most of them think that both candidates are not fit to be the next president of the united states. Linda is criticizing this group of people and the rest that are simply too lazy to vote because she believes that all votes matter, which is true. According to CNBC “The poll of 801 registered voters conducted June 11-14 shows Clinton with a 40 percent to 35 percent lead.” This means that out of this 801 people, 25 percent of them are undecided to vote for each candidate. And out of this 25 percent, more than half (14 percent) aren’t going to vote.

"A New York Times analysis of the 2012 elections found that around 40 percent of undecided voters were registered Democrats or Republicans, and that 94 percent of them (in both groups) voted for the party with which they were registered." This is the kind of voters Linda would blame because they are voting for the party that they support instead of the candidate they think deserves to be the president. The authors credibility is well shown because her arguments had purpose which states, if we want to have a better outcome after the polls are closed, then we should not have this many undecided voters.
