political media has created social incentive for being "independent," and this usually means standing for nothing and falling for everything, things of that nature.
“Independents” are almost hellbent on choosing the middle option of any poll, likely without even bothering to read! The pollsters cannot pull the wool over their eyes! The sensible option is always the option between two other things (not ideologically the middle, just physically located)
