If you look at the polls on realclearpolitics.com, you can see where the undecided are. You have to be careful, because some polls factor them out (e.g., the polls that add up to 98%+ are eliminating undecided from their calculation). The best comparisions between states will all come from a single pollster (e.g., a Zogby/Zogby comparision will be better than a Zogby/Gallup comparision).
I expected to see a battleground/nonbattleground disparity - so if you bombard a state from both sides, you either drive up or down the undecideds - or a regional disparity, but can't see an intelligible pattern to either. It looks to me like polls are showing 5-12% levels of undecideds everywhere, and where they fall within that range is pretty random.
