What will be the number of undecideds/other in Monday's Gallup presidential poll?

Settled as Number of undecideds/others is 8 or 9

8% didn't opt for McCain or Obama

http://www.gallup.com/poll/109954/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Maintains-6Point-Lead-49-43.aspx

Background:

With the Democratic convention, Obama's much-heralded speech, and a VP pick that seemed to come out of nowhere, will Americans be more or less sure about who they're going to vote for?

The market will settle based on the total polling points not allocated to either Obama or McCain. This number has been relatively unchanged at 10, 11, or 12 for the past three weeks, with 12 occurring only twice.

Note: Gallup polls are the result of a 3 day rolling average so the poll released on Monday will be based on surveys taken Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


Settlement details: As reported by http://www.gallup.com/tag/Gallup%2bDaily.aspx,
posted near 1300 on Monday September 1.
If no poll is posted that day for some reason, will be the next released gallup daily poll.
