I am a marketing professor and find that when I use examples from the election my students really listen. I would like to provide them with the demographics (age, gender, party, income) of who voted in the last presidential election so that they can compare to the general population. 

Can anyone provide me with a link or source for this election?

Thank you!

Welcome to the forums. Smiley

The exit polls might be a good source. Of course, it should be kept into mind that this one was a tad pro-Bush (it showed Bush winning by about 4 when he won by 3) but it's not too bad.

The URL is:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

I'm not sure how with a result of approximately Bush by 4 they got results like Bush +3 for those who have voted before and Kerry +7 among those who haven't...but it's still a good resource.

Hope this is off help.

The CNN site is good.  Does anyone know if they have finished tweaking the numbers yet?

Also, since I see you are an Islander, I have a few questions for you:

1- What part of the island are you from?

2- What is your feeling on Long Island Statehood?

3- Where do you teach?

There are a few people on the forum who currently live there in addition to myself, who used to live there.

What about Kings and Queens? They're on Long Island too. Wink

Technically that is true.  But when a New Yorker refers to Long Island, he is speaking of the two suburban counties.

Why should they become their own State?

To give the Republicans a few electoral votes if they try hard.

Probably 5 EVs.

If Kings and Queens are included, it's just going to be a Democratic stronghold.

That would also force a breakup of New York City between the two states. Wink

I doubt Long Island is all that interested in becoming a state anyway.

The feeling comes and goes.  When Cuomo was seriously screwing the Island there was a decently large movement.  When he was ousted it mostly went away.

We live in Nassau County and I instruct at Hofstra University. I enjoyed the conversation about LI statehood but don't think that it is possible or wise - taxes are high enough already. New York is already two states - Upstate and NYC metropolitan area. LI geography is different from the LI mindset but many people from Queens and Brooklyn are moving out here to avoid the high property costs there. Which is pushing property values and taxes very high here but no one can tell what happens to all of the money. One of the biggest problems is LI is starting to have educated and skilled young people leave the area because of the cost of living.

Working at an University I find a lot of people to be democrats but many of the business people to be republicans with most people voting pary-line.  Maintaining a status of "independent" is very suspicious to everyone.
