Anti-Gay Vote Not As Influential As Thought Survey Shows
http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/11/111104electPoll.htm

This presidential election has been described by many as one in which morality mattered most to voters. But that perception may be driven at least partially by how pollsters asked voters about their priority issues.

Whether voters named "moral values" their key issue partly depended on whether that subject was included in a list of choices provided by pollsters, according to a Pew Research Center analysis released Thursday.

When "moral values" was included in poll questions, it was named more often than any other issue. But when voters were just asked to name the issue most important in their vote for president -- without being given a list of answers -- moral values trailed the war in Iraq and the economy, according to the Pew survey.



is this just spin or was there a flaw in the questioning

1. No, the Miracle of the Religious Bigots didn't happen.
It's the cover story for the theft.

2. And it will be Bush's excuse.................
to the Christianazis why he can't further their agenda "until the heat dies down a little bit". But they'll keep licking his boots and he'll keep them handy for the next round of elections. Right now they think they're a lot more powerful than they really are, so we can expect them to make complete asses of themselves for the foreseeable future.

3. I agree .. people were basically push polled.
Probably Bush operatives so he could pull out the ol' anti-gay "mandate" :eyes:
