It seems a bit unethical to me to report that within some margin of error, someone has a lead while 76% of the voters are uncommitted. It's good to see the margin of undecideds reflected in this new Boston Globe/Univ. of NH poll but it is hard to find clear margins of undecideds in other polls. Does anyone have better numbers/links to undecided voters in various states?
POLL: 76% of NH Democratic Voters Still Undecided

Barack Obama benefits the most by meeting and talking with people in the early primary states because Edwards and Hillary are more known quantities. However, many of the undecideds are basing their decision on wanting to back a winner and who can win the general election. Leaving out the large number of undecideds in the MSM clearly helps the leader (Hillary). However, among the top tier candidates from both parties, in the general election, Obama has the largest field of potential voters:

This is the best I could find from a University of Iowa poll from last week. It is the closest thing to showing info on undecideds in Iowa I could find.
