Ambivalence is correct, but the mean the person above defined is off. It is not so much a neutral feeling, but one of love/hate.
am‧biv‧a‧lence [am-biv-uh-luhns]
–noun 1. uncertainty or fluctuation, esp. when caused by inability to make a choice or by a simultaneous desire to say or do two opposite or conflicting things.
2. Psychology. the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing him or her in opposite directions.

I wonder if the word you seek is "Ambivilant"? "I am ambivilant in my feelings about the upcoming election; niether candidate is worthy of the office."
It means having no feelings either way, neutral in position.
