I’ll remind everybody that the majority of votes were mail in and didn’t participate in exit polls...
Hard to participate in exit polls when you've been dead for over a year...

THe arthur has a good way of drawing conclusions from very minimal set of data.
You should certainly know about that one! Lol

Ah, the article hit a nerve. Good.
Regardless of the author's conclusions, what does the data say?
Basically, old people tend to be more conservative. Big surprise.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

It means nothing. All it means is that of the people that voted on Election Day, which is a vast minority of voters this year.

Also, people who cant or wont work and who lack a spiritual foundation tend to vote for free stuff.

The author of the article was apparently research director for Patrick Buchanan's Republican primary campaign against President George H.W. Bush.
So, he should be used to losing elections.

Think he made his stats up?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Yes, by all means let's dismiss him because he's not a democrat.

Probably not. I'd guess he's got a lot of free time.
Basically, he's saying that if only all Americans were like him, his guys would win the election.

I didn't dismiss him. I found the article rather unpleasant. He's looking down his nose at a lot of people.
By all means dismiss his elitist snobbery because he's not a Democrat.

As @LuFins-Dad said, many many people would not have been asked, so the poll is “skew” already. I think our math people would would agree it is very in reliable.
If I go to a Chinese restaurant and stand outside the woman bathroom and count customers, my conclusion would be that only woman eat At this Chinese Restaurant.

I've found that people are much more willing to accept the results of polls that confirm what they believe.
I mean, we're being asked by conservatives to believe that all the polls prior to the election were completely bogus, but this one is accurate. And presumably, the opposite goes for liberals.
The results don't surprise me, at any rate. Disadvantaged people tend to vote Democrat, they tend not to have as good jobs, they tend to live pay-check to pay-check.
All the stuff about going to church is nice. The majority of Americans don't go to church. I don't go to church. The idea that if everybody started going to church the Republicans would win is fascinating from a psychological perspective and all, but probably irrelevant since church numbers seem more likely to decline than increase in coming years.

It would be an interesting poll to ask prisoners in jail if they were religious or not. My guess would be that the majority say that they are religious.

Depends if they are on death row.

Funny how that works... so many people think they are just too intelligent to believe in God, after all, that's just some ancient mumbo jumbo ..... then when the fecal matter hits the oscillating device for them and they come face to face with their own mortality.... They beg for God.
Even atheists eventually believe...
