Poll: Who would win in a fistfight...

[cynatnite]

Who better understands American families, Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? Who would you rather lead us into war? Who’s a bigger liar? Are voters suspicious of Mormonism? And which candidate would win in a fistfight?

Yahoo! News and Esquire teamed up to commission pollster Gary Langer of Langer Research Associates to survey more than a thousand Americans about those topics (and many more) in the days following the political conventions. We asked questions most pollsters don’t—on religion, race, personal values, class, and personality—as well as the usual ones about voter preference. We will report our findings over the next few weeks, and the complete survey will be available on Yahoo! News, in the November issue of Esquire, and on Esquire.com's The Politics Blog.

This week, we begin with the basics:

When we cross-tabulate those results with demographic information, we see familiar divides.
Those in the highest income brackets favor Romney.
The numbers change, though, when we ask all Americans to predict who they think is going to win:

1. It Really Is A Sick Question

I doubt either has been in a fistfight?

My usual rule of thumb is the fighting ability decreases with education and income.

2. I think Obama would win the fight...

But, you would have to tell him he has to fight dirty. He won't do it on his own and maybe not even with prompting. Mitt will however, fight dirty. Better check and make sure he isn't holding a handful of sand or wearing brass knuckles.

3. Well Mittens would get someone to fight for him because we know he is to chicken to

get his hands dirty. I wonder if he has any callouses driving that speed boat of his.

7. Like Cheney, Shitty Mitty would get someone else to fight for him because

he had 'other priorities.'

(in case it's needed)

10. To be honest I don't think he knows how to fight unless he gets his buddies to hold the person

down and then bullies the guy at the end of his fist.

11. +1

4. The bout I wanted to see was Carter Castro.

Jimmy was tough.

[Tom Ripley]

5. Rope-a-dope: Obama could have a cigarette and a beer while Romney flails away

[Journeyman]

6. Hell yes! Just like Barter Town! Two men enter. . .

[Auntie Bush]

8. Romney is an elitist pansy and his underwear would get in a wod.

[sweetapogee]

9. Hard to know

at 5'6" and 138 Lbs. and as an office worker few would pick me as a winner in any brawl. But I have 12 years of TKD and some rank.

[Aerows]

13. Amen

I studied TKD, too. I back up to no one, despite being a slight, petite built woman. I can still smash a board.

[Aerows]

12. I'd be in that fist fight

and I don't apologize for the fact that I would be fist bared and kicking.

This meme that Democrats are weak is bullshit.
