This is the part of the poll I found most interesting:

Percentage who said they would be "very uncomfortable" voting for a presidential candidate who fits the following description:

gay or lesbian 34
member of Bush's cabinet 34
someone over seventy 29
evangelical Christian 28
Mormon 26
Jewish 9
Hispanic 9
woman 8
a governor 5
African American 4


Too bad they didn´t include the word "atheist". This word would probably get 40% + I suppose...

Why would people not vote for a governor?

Whenever you get down to the 4-5% level, I take it as being more or less equivalent to zero...simply because you can find 4-5% of the population who will say yes to just about any question the pollster asks, like say, "the sky is green".


Indeed. It´s similar to the show "Who wants to be a Millionaire ?". When there are 4 answers and you take the "50:50"-joker which eliminates 2 wrong answers and you are still not sure which one of the 2 remaining answers is the correct one you may take the "Ask the audience"-Joker. And even if there are just 2 remaining possibilities left for the audience to vote on, some guys still vote for an eliminated answer all the time ... Wink

Just found some new contradicting polls:

The latest Newsweek poll has Hillary Clinton leading John McCain by 50% to 43%, while the Republican leaning polling company McLaughlin & Associates has McCain leading Clinton by 51% to 35%. For Clinton vs. Giuliani the numbers in Newsweek are: 48% Clinton,  47% Giuliani and 37% for Clinton and 51% for Giuliani in the McLaughlin poll. Whats interesting is that both polls don't seem to be biased, because both have the Bush job approval in the mid-30s. So why´s this big difference ?
