^I may be confused but isn't the uncommitted voter the only voters that the candidates are trying to gain at this point?

If I know that I have Tom, D ick and Harry locked up but Jenny, Jane and Jessica are uncommitted. What am I going to do? I will throw a proverbial bone to T, D & H every once in a while and do everything I can to gain 3J's vote.

So for me looking at polls, the only one's I study at this time of year are the uncommitted voters, ESPECIALLY the ones in swing states.

Not exactly LWC.

While I will agree with you somewhat in theory, the fact is nobody knows exactly who is for you and who is against you. I dont think there are many numbers out there that show results of previous polls for vice presidential preferences to begin with. Presidential candidates yes.The uncommitted vote is only a small percentage of the vote at this time. Not disagreeing with you at all that is an important factor, but the other polls do not just poll the uncommitted, and I am sure that CBS didn't either, so that is why I question their reluctance to show all of the results. While about all polls are broken down into subcategories that show results of uncommitted preferences and other various voter criteria, the "uncommitted" represents only a small portion of the total blend that everyone else is displaying in their polls.
