MONEY magazine poll of "investor class" voting bloc

[pruner]

Those polled by MONEY were overwhelmingly male (82%) and married (80%), and disproportionately Republican (49% vs. 31% independent and 20% Democratic). Almost all described their views as either moderate (52%) or conservative (38%). They are affluent, with a median household income $98,000 and median portfolio size of $387,000.

…

Asked how they would vote if the 2004 election were held today, exactly half of respondents chose Bush. None of the Democratic candidates could yet count on double-digit support from investors: Howard Dean garnered the top spot (9%), followed by Wesley Clark (7%), John Kerry (4%), Joe Lieberman (3%) and Dick Gephardt (2%). Nearly one-fifth of all the respondents (18%) are undecided. Unlike Americans at large, this is one group that goes to the polls in droves. Among respondents, 97% are currently registered to vote and 96% did vote in the 2000 presidential race.

…

The results cited are from the MONEY Subscriber Advisory Panel. Online interviews were conducted Nov 14 - 23, with 728 total respondents and a margin of error +/- 3.63%.

1. Further Proof That Dean...

...Is most electable. :toast:

2. Sad to see that the investor class is using faith-based logic

I'm surprised they can't even vote in their own self-interest.

3. Maybe They Shorted Stocks?

4. notice that half the respondents are republicans…

and half the respondents said they'd vote for Bush.

so it seems that either some Republicans plan on voting Dem or all the Independents do.

5. good ol' Undecided

Carries the day! Actually, the problem with America is the "investment class" runs things, and runs them into the ground.

Why in the hell would you covet their votes?

Wait, I know, because DEAN is "the only one who can beat Bush!" :eyes:
