WASHINGTON -- More than one-third of voters haven't made up their mind about who they will vote for in their congressional races Tuesday, according to an Associated Press-AOL News poll conducted Oct. 20-25. Among findings about the 38 percent who say they are still persuadable:

DEMOCRATS have the edge, with 51 percent of the persuadable voters favoring Democrats and 35 percent favoring Republicans. The remaining 14 percent said they were undecided or refused to say.

FEMALES make up a disproportionate share of the persuadable voters, or 58 percent. Females also tend to call themselves moderates, with 46 percent adopting that label.

ECONOMIC concerns trump other issues among persuadable voters, with 91 percent saying it is extremely or very important. The war in Iraq is the No. 2 issue, with 88 percent of voters saying it is extremely or very important.

IRAQ is viewed as a mistake among persuadable voters, with 62 percent saying going to war was an error and 35 percent saying it was the right thing to do. These numbers are on par with decided voters. However, persuadable Republicans tend to view it as a greater mistake, with 31 percent saying it was a mistake compared to 18 percent of decided voters who plan to vote for Republicans.
