I think independents be more likely to swing between elections than within elections.  It's a reason why Mitt was mistaken in waiting till the last moment in the campaign to blitz with his ads.  Once a voter has made a decision it's far more difficult to get him to unmake it than to make it in the first place.  It's also why Mitt got fooled by the results of the first debate.  The polling didn't reflect Barack voters deciding they'd made a mistake and would now vote for Mitt.  It reflected mainly voters who had decided they weren't voting for Barack, but hadn't yet been persuaded to vote Mitt.
