CNN.com Election 2004: Thanks to Jeff for pointing out this page. It shows a great breakdown of voter trends. Here are my immediate takeaways:
- The only age group Kerry took was 18-29. Good job to the young voters out there! I hope you weren’t just listening to Puff Daddy; he wasn’t actually going to kill you.
- Nice gradual increasing slope of Bush approval with income.
- 67% support from those that listed religion as “none”. This is in dramatic contrast to the 8% of people that listed “Religious Faith” as the MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY for a president. Can you believe that?
- Overall, people that were concerned with the economy heavily favored Kerry. Why do so many people care about terrorism, religion, abortion, etc when the economy has a much greater affect on daily lives?
The real fact of the matter is that all the stupid fucking right-wing rednecks in the southern states voted for Bush. Thank you and good night..
i have it on good authority that exit polls are worthless.
there’s some speculation out there that it’s not the exit polls that are worthless; but instead, it’s the voting machines and window’s based pc’s that are worthless… interesting thought. I’m not sure I buy it, but it is an intriguing thought.

i was being facetious; mike is the one who said they were worthless… and then posted about them.
