yeah. but it's the TV that really counts....

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Unless there has been some radical shift in the past two years, this survey is bunk.  The biggest evidence that would shoot this survey down is the 2000 CNN Exit poll that showed that Bush led among Regular Internet users and Gore led among non-Internet users.  Hell, if this survey were even remotely accurate - that "Independent" number would be waaaay higher.

2000 was 3 1/2 years ago
the George Washington U is a serious place

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Yes, and I'm not even accusing the study of bias - I just don't see how it could be accurate.  Even the Democrats admitted their being behind in technology when Terry McAuliffe claimed that Republicans were using "information age technology to promote stone age beliefs" or some such nonsense after they re-did the DNC web site.  Going from 49-47 to 27-49 in 3 years just doesn't make sense.  Let's see what the 2004 exit polls show us

[zachman]

I believe the data. Republicans do best among old people, and they are the ones who don't use the internet.

I apoligize for my loose stereotype.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

NO, that simply is NOT correct!!!

Once again, back to the exit polls...
Gore barely won among 18-29year olds, Bush won among 30-44 and 45-59 year olds and Gore had a wide margin over Bush for the 60+ vote.

Those trends usually play out the same way for other elections as well.  Old women are especially likely to be Democrats, while young men are more Republican.

Republicans do best among middle age people

It's certainly not the case of this forum...extremists with stone age beliefs are usually very good with the internet, scary as it is.

What do you mean? Esteban is registered, and anyone who doesn't state a preference is judged by the colour of their avatar, at least by GusNews. And I was basing my post on Leip's site stats, not the register list.

what do you say?

I say that a large proportion of those who use the internet aren't old enough to vote and that most of these young people are Democrats.....

[JohnFKennedy]

you sure about that? if it is online, how do they verify that the person taking the test is over the required age, surely someone could take it for their mother or father if required to provide personal information.

[JohnFKennedy]

ah i see, well do you know where? because if for example it was conducted in California in Silicon valley, then the figures would be like that or possibly more pro Democrat.
