It turns out that in 2010 there were less swingvoters than in past midterm elections showing that the voters are becoming more decided about what their vote towards policies and congressmen will be.  The statistics show that more Republican voters were decided on who they were going to vote for, as much as 86%, while the Democratic voters said they could be flexible until voting day as less were decided on their votes, 82%. Swing voters are important to the political parties' candidates who need as much votes as they can pick up; some would say swing voters can make or break an election.
