What about...

CrossFitters
UPS drivers

Current fraternity members
Sorority alumni
College football season ticketholders

Video Gaming- Biden. Gamers are predominantly young, which is enough for them to go Biden, even though being a gamer probably makes one more likely to vote Trump.

Board Games- Biden

Stamp/Coin Collecting- Biden. Old people stuff, and they were close this year.

Knitting- Biden, very female.

Running/Jogging- Biden easily.

Weightlifting- Trump probably, although younger and less white, so it's a question.

Fishing- Easily Trump

Hunting- Easily Trump

Historical Reenacting- Probably Biden, older fans of Hamilton type people.

Painting- Biden.

Ham radio- Trump probably. I can't imagine Ham radio people having high levels of social trust.

Just a note to add, I know 5ere has been an issue of white supremacists in the weight lifting community so that could be considered as well.

UPS drivers N/A not a hobby
Pizza delivery drivers N/A not a hobby
Current fraternity members Strong Biden
Sorority alumni Depends on age cohort. Not sure if being in Greek life (wealthier/more established family background and therefore R bias) cancels out being female (D bias). Nonpanhellenic/professional will be more D than panhellenic Under 35 should def be Biden
College football season ticketholders Lean Trump?

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

I don't get why everyone is saying video gaming would skew trump, maybe the hardcore fringe that hangs out 4chan but that's a very small minority of the community even among hardcore gaming fans. Simple Age and Demographics correlation would indicate that the hobby would skew towards democrats given the low age of the average gamer.

[GregTheGreat657]

Sounds about right ironically George W. Bush is really into painting of past presidents.  Jogging makes sense as seems Trump supporters more likely to be obese and generally fittest places in US are pretty blue.

I bet W voted for Biden.

I think he wrote in Condolezza Rice

What about

-Beagling (Hunting with Beagles or full sized Hounds)
-Cat Breeding
-Edible Gardening
-Skateboarding
-Aquariums

Video Gaming-Biden, demographic is too young to swung Trump way.
-Board Games-Biden, most likely.
-Stamp/Coin Collecting-Biden
-Knitting-Ultra Biden because of the female vote.
-Running/Jogging-Lean Biden, I associate this group with granola upper class liberals.
-Weightlifting/Strength Training-Lean Trump due to maleness of the activity. Lots of minorities lift weights, so the skew is less Republican than you'd expect.
-Fishing-Ultra Trump
-Hunting-Same as above
-Historical reenacting-Initial would have said Trump but probably leans towards Biden.
-Painting-Safe Biden
-Ham radio-Trump

Video gamers would lean Democratic based on the average age, but turnout would be quite low.

IDK = I don't know (obviously) and won't bother guessing
Lean = That's my guess, but I'm not fully sure and not too confident about it
Safe = I'm fairly to very confident about it

Regarding Golden Retriever owners: Why the confidence that they went for Trump? I would think it's a Tossup or at best Tilt/Lean in either direction, no more.
Regarding readers of thriller novels: Why do you think so?
Regarding current fraternity members: I mean if I understand what that means correctly it means that it's people in college, and since college students vote massively Democratic, it should be Safe Biden.

Triathletes - Largely a Biden group. Ironman enthusiasts are not the kind to gunk up their bodies with what Homer Simpson called "filth" in that one episode he climbed the Murderhorn, and are also likely conservationist types who would like to protect their hiking trails for future generations. Any Republican who has a problem with hiking trails while stuffing their face worse than Kobayashi must do 100 push-ups in honor of our brave military.

Readers of thriller novels - Trump for most male leads. But I would assume the crowd that would have read Danielle Steel types (more romance, but somewhat thriller to an extent) would be more of a Biden group. Female leads usually tend to attract a more Democratic, not necessarily more liberal, demographic.

Golden Retriever owners - More likely a Trump group since this is a more rugged, faithful sort of dog. Biden dogs are usually the toy variety, though I do have an uncle who takes care of my late grandmother's beloved (third) Maltese who prefers Newsmax to Fox News.

CrossFitters - Rather extreme in their fitness approach, so very likely a Trump group. The UFC crowd was usually more of a Trump demo, perhaps right up there with the PGA Tour in terms of sports fandom, with the WNBA and NBA usually being the most Democratic (not necessarily liberal, though...that's more tennis).

UPS drivers - Largely a Biden demographic. Most UPS drivers belong to a union, though some I suspect would be sympathetic to Trump on the values question. I still remember how the UPS strike affected some package deliveries around Houston and elsewhere in the mid 90s.

Pizza delivery drivers - Largely a teen demographic, favoring Biden, but it could very well be along the lines of the gamer crowd since they seem to dovetail each other. The franchisees, of course, do hold sway over convincing their employees to vote Republican. Just ask Jim Renacci...who benefited from a McDonald's franchisee in Canton, Ohio convincing his employees to vote Republican so that their paychecks can no longer be raided.

Current fraternity members - College kids are definitely going to be favoring the Dems, but the fraternity crowd is usually more conservative and business-oriented than the rest of the campus. Also important to note that a college student is not necessarily registered to their campus, but still at their parents' house. I wouldn't be shocked if the Vineyard Vines crowd was a more conservative bunch than the rest of the campus, right up there with the Cru kids. Especially if they are business or STEM majors. Republicans who have a problem with fraternities over alcohol can go F themselves - any conservative with sense would have voted against raising the drinking age to 18, as I would have done if I were in Congress circa '81.

Sorority alumni - Now this is going to be interesting, so I'm going to get into this real hot and heavy. Biden, but depends on various factors. The Black sororities are definitely Biden considering Kamala was AKA, and most of the major-oriented sororities (e.g. psych sorority, engineering sorority, etc.) likely favored Biden as well. The social sororities with the philanthropic causes - the ones with the former HS cheerleader, Young Life types in their HS days - usually are the most conservative (especially in the South), but definitely social libertarian to liberal.

College football season ticket holders - Depends on the alumni base, but alums with college football tickets and college football fans in general tend to be more Republican than their NFL counterparts, especially over the freakout on the right (and amongst Stephen A. Smith fanboys) regarding Colin the Horrible. All said, "culture war" types who call college football players with NIL contracts "spoiled brats" are a disgrace to conservatism. As long as they're happy, doing well in school and living their best life, Republicans should STFU about them - at least they're doing something that builds positive PR for their school and benefiting a local or even national business willing to highlight them. Yes, I question the integrity of the NIL system sometimes, but the costs certainly outweigh the benefits, and anyone who hates Ron DeSantis because he championed NIL in the first place is a worse traitor than Liz Cheney or Gen. Mark "Let me tell you about our secrets, Xi!" Milley.

There, I said it. God Bless our First Amendment!

Dunkin' is primarily a New England thing, I think that's a Biden-leaning group, the 5 states with the most Dunkin Donuts are New York (1435), Massachusetts (1107), Florida (896), New Jersey (873), and Illinois (701)
