Politics of Family Guy

[Rob]

Family Guy's my favorite show. It's hilarious! I also like the political humor, and I'd agree that the show's politics are more Democratic. On a related topic, South Park is pretty conservative(strangely enough)... just watch the episode with Rob Reiner as an anti-smoking advocate.

The official exit poll data this year has been adjusted to match the results, so the fact that the initial polls were wrong doesn't affect these results at all.

This site has past exit polls from 1976-2000, it's pretty interesting. They are down near the bottom of the page.

Ten people live in a county. One has $200 billion. The other nine are poor. That averages out to being a really rich county. The one rich guy votes GOP, the nine poor guys vote Democrat.

See Vorlon's post on the exit poll results.

NickG is not a lying troll or anything. I doubt he just made these numbers up for the fun of it.

Those definitely are the real exit poll results from this year, CNN's website has them too.
