Default Americans more likely to vote for a....

This is interesting in some respects, typical in others. The results are at the link.


GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- With arguably the most diverse field of candidates in U.S. history to choose from, Americans will have to decide how comfortable they are electing a person who is not a white Protestant male as president. Whereas in past elections non-traditional candidates were often long-shots to win their party's nominations, let alone the presidency, many of the leading candidates in the early stages of the 2008 election process are not cut from the typical presidential cloth, making this issue more salient than ever.

A recent USA Today/Gallup poll updated a question first asked in 1937 about the public's willingness to vote for presidential candidates from a variety of different genders, religions, and other backgrounds.

Athiests lose again!
Politically speaking, what sucks more than being an Athiestic Libertarian?

There is currently no major Jewish candidate running in either party, but if one were, his or her religion would not appear to be a liability: 92% of Americans say they would be willing to support a Jewish presidential candidate.


94% would vote for a black candidate.


BTW, those two answers confirm my thought that there is much more bias, in this country, against Jews than against Blacks. That is because of the Evangelical movement, IMO.....


Nearly 9 in 10 Americans, 88%, say they would vote for a woman for president. Eighty-seven percent also say they would vote for a Hispanic


I think this poll brings out the best in LIARS.
Very well could be people lying to not look bad. None the less, these are the results.
