Poll question: Age of Candidate Supporters
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 10:15 AM by HFishbine
Who's your candidate and what's your age?

(Poll limitations prohibit listing all candidates. Sorry. Please weigh in with a comment if your candidate is not listed.)

6. Yeah, I know
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 10:46 AM by HFishbine
I had to draw the line somehwere though, so I borrowed from a census classification. Like it or not, they group young adults as 24 - 34. The twenty-somethings probably don't like being grouped with old farts like you either.

11. Well
Next time remove Gep and Edwards, since there were more votes for Kucinich in the body of the post than in the poll itself. :D

We (Kucinich supporters) are usually atleast a 1/4 of the poll results is any poll done here on DU. We're a *large* active group, being ignored here or at the polls next year to the party's peril. :eek: :D

30. If I had to vote tomorrow..
I have the same stats.. 25, Kucinich

Someone said that they hated being lumped in with the 20 somethings...

Well, I dont like being lumped in with the 30 somethings either.

The whole poll is skewed.. Did the maker pick 34, cause they are 34?

40. Nope
I'm a few years older than 34. I picked it because the census draws a line there too. Sure, it's somewhat arbitrary, but it's a reasonable dividing line between young adults and older adults. I'm sure some 64 year-olds probably don't feel like they have much in common with 35 year-olds either, but I did what I could with a pool of nine candidates and a poll that allows a maximum of ten answers.

38. Interesting poll...
... maybe you could set up another one for the other candidates? Or, I'd guess that their campaigns would have statistics on the demographics. But you were interested in just this group... right?

Anyhow, I like Kucinich and I'm 58.

39. Hi
I was curious if any particular candidate's supporters on DU were generally older or younger. And yes, next time I'll chnage up the candidate list.
