Donklephant Reader Demographics: Politics
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in General Politics, PollsAccording to our Vizu Polls Widget that lives about halfway down the middle sidebar, apparently our site is fairly evenly split between Dems and Repubs and Indies…at least for a political blog that is.
In fact…
6.1% Always vote for Dems
21.2% Usually vote for Dems
27.3% Look at each office independently
12.2% Always vote for Repubs
33.3% Usually vote for Repubs
So combining those numbers, we can pretty much say Donklephant readers tend to be…
27.3% Democrat
27.3% Independent
45.5% Republican

Just another example of biased polling in the BSM (Blog Stream Media). I refused to take the poll due to thae lack of a poll question for the Voting Dividists. Next time add a question “Always vote for divided government.”

Cynical and contrary. :-)

How many responses did you receive? Did anything prevent people from voting more than once?

I must contradict the notion that I am a contrarian in the strongest possible terms. I am a rational optimist, who has committed to a voting heuristic that produces predictable and positive results 100% of the time. Who among my fellow voters can say the same?

I’ve been a Democrat for most of my life but this will change in the next election. I will vote for the Green party which I know hasn’t a chance in hell in winning anything but I have become increasingly disillusioned with the politics in this country, mainly the two-party monopoly.
To me
there is no difference between the Democrats or Republicans, they are both equally corrupt and set in their ineffectual ways. Together they work to keep a monopoly on our political system. I can go to Best Buys and choose between a hundred different kinds of computers but if I want a choice for president I can choose between to equally slime-ball, corrupt politicians. The election of a president for the United States has become little more than an appointment, a CEO so to speak of his corporate backers. This country is all about money, while it puts out the
image that it’s about justice, democracy and human rights. The reality of our actions throughout history begs to differ.

I’m a libertarian-conservative who used to vote mostly Republican until last year, as the Republicans in Congress not only no longer seem interested in giving me the less-government solutions I thought I had been voting for, but have managed to become more and more like both their Dem counterparts and the Bush administration at the same time - painfully risk-averse, ham-handed and clueless.
I sat out 2006, “officially” because I had just started working on contract outside my home state on fairly short notice and there wasn’t time to get an absentee ballot, but the truth is I just wasn’t motivated enough to go out of my way to vote for either party anyway. The GOP lost my vote, but the Dems didn’t earn it.

I have been a registered Republican, a registered Democrat, a registered Green, and a registered Independent.
I lean left on most issues but consider myself independent. I have a hard time relating to any existing political party.
