Gallup likely voter demographics

Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 03:25 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter

The changes over the years are interesting. The likely voter demographics (ag, race, etc.) are about the same this year as always, which is also interesting. Most striking trend through the years... moderates who vote in mid-terms declining.

1. Same as always? The R+9 electorate looks MUCH worse than any past year, even 94.

If we have an R+9 electorate on election day, we are totally fucked. That's almost TWICE the margin in 1994.

Our best hope is that they are smoking something with their likely voter model. Other polls have the parties roughly at parity.

2. That's the political affiliation and political leanings

The demographics are roughly the same... the age, race, education, etc..

The political attitudes and voting preferences are the worst ever.

Gallup's headline was:

Likely Voters Demographically Typical, but Skew Conservative
Majority of likely voters are conservative and identify as or lean Republican

3. I realize Gallup knows much more than me but their info just

doesn't feel right. I know there are major differences when you look at individual states v/s across the nation but I keep hearingthat there are many more Dems in the country than Pubs and although there ARE some Pubs who are chomping at the bit to vote I believe they are FAR from a majority of the Pubs. I guess we'l see in a few weeks.
