Actually, the "swing vote" % for each general election year since 1992 has ranged from 21% to about 31%. The rule of thumb is about 25%. I know this shit cold, as I am a voting activist here in Ohio, a perennial "swing state". But remember... looking back at US history, a swing vote is usually best defined as someone convinced to vote against their own best interests, or convinced to be a single issue, low information voter.
