The folks at Rock the Vote just sent over the results of their latest poll, conducted by using jukebox-like machines to "survey" more than 72,000 bar and nightclub patrons. Here's the results, as provided by their PR flack:
WHICH CANDIDATE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE A BEER WITH?
29% - Barack Obama
22% - Hillary Clinton
20% - John McCain
29% - None of the above
By region:
In Midwest, Obama scored 31.2%
In Southwest, Clinton scored 24%
In Southeast, McCain scored 23%
WHICH PARTY ROCKS?
34% - Democratic Party
18% - Republican Party
18% - Independent Party
30% - don’t know/other
WHAT ISSUE IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?
41% - jobs and the economy
21% - war in Iraq
15% - healthcare
12% - global warming
11% - cost of education
I guess we can conclude:
1) A fair number of beer guzzling bar rats think all three of the candidates are pretty lame as drinking buddies.
2) Old beer guzzling bar rats in Florida would really like to sit down with McCain and commiserate about how the Maginot Line totally sucked.
3) Three in 10 bar rats have no clue what either the Republican or Democratic party is -- and probably don't care to.
4) Most bar rats could really use some extra cash to pay for beer.
