FWP Readers Chose Obama 50-42; New Poll On Auto Bailout
Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 12/19/08 @ 12:06 pm - Filed Under National Politics
The last poll we did was to ask readers who they voted for in the Presidential race. We did this to try and get a feel for the political persuasion of FWP readers and not surprisingly the results were fairly evenly split. Readers supported Obama over McCain by a margin of 50-42 with the other 8% going to Bob Barr.
It’s always interesting when people tell me that only liberals or only conservatives read FWP. I think this poll shows the readership is pretty evenly distributed. This doesn’t surprise me but it maybe it does others.
The newest poll is related to the $17 Billion auto bailout and it’s something Mike Sylvester wanted to poll readers on. So please take 5 seconds, literally, and answer our latest polling question…

Jeff, the reason your blog is read by both sides pretty equally is because of the “moderate” tone.
While the subject matter may sometimes evoke opposite responses, the posters here (by and large) actually present cogent arguments instead of the snark usually associated with left leaning blogs.
In other words, you don’t simply “dismiss” the other viewpoint, which is why I enjoy reading and posting here. I liken it to the “adults” table at a holiday gathering. Good conversation about matters of substance, and the name-calling stays at the “kids” table!
Merry Christmas to all!! (yes Kevin, even you! ha!)
Tim,
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Hoe Hoe Hoe to you Kevin.
Merry Christmas Timmy. ;)
