gchwood Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thankfully, I was pretty lost until that quiz . Now I KNOW I hate God. Don't all liberals? Of course they do, look at Rev. Jesse Jackson, he hates God more than anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistymjohnson Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Pro-Government Conservative Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Pro-Government Conservative typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. Pro-Government Conservatives represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters. Basic Description Pro-Government Conservatives stand out for their strong religious faith and conservative views on many social and cultural issues. They also express broad support for a social safety net, which sets them apart from the other two core Republican groups. While backing George W. Bush by roughly six-to-one, this group has one of the lowest incomes levels in the typology. Pro-Government Conservatives are skeptical about the effectiveness of the marketplace, favoring government regulation to protect the public interest, and government assistance for the needy. Defining Values Religious, financially insecure, and favorable toward government programs. Support the Iraq war and an assertive foreign policy, but less uniformly so than Enterprisers or Social Conservatives. Back government involvement in a wide range of policy areas, from poverty assistance to protecting morality and regulating industry. Who They Are Predominately female (62%) and relatively young; highest percentage of minority members of any Republican-leaning group (10% black, 12% Hispanic). Most (59%) have no more than a high school diploma. They also are poorer than other Republican groups; nearly half (49%) have household incomes of less than $30,000 (about on par with Disadvantaged Democrats). Nearly half (47%) are parents of children living at home. 42% live in the South. Lifestyle Notes Most (52%) attend religious services at least weekly; nearly all describe religion as “very important” in their lives. Gun ownership is lower (36%) than in other GOP groups. Just 14% trade stocks and bonds in the market; 39% say someone in their home has faced unemployment in the past year. 2004 Election Bush 61%, Kerry 12%. Fully 21% said they didn’t vote in November. Party ID 58% Republican, 40% Independent/No Preference, 2% Democrat (86% Rep/LeanRep) Media Use Most Pro-Government Conservatives consult traditional news sources, including newspapers (48%) and network TV (31%). No more or less engaged in politics than the national average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Off to change the party affiliation on my voters card. Disadvantaged Democrat Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Disadvantaged Democrat typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. Disadvantaged Democrats represent 10 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters. Basic Description Disadvantaged Democrats are the least financially secure of all the groups, and they express strongly negative feelings toward business, and strong support for government efforts to help the needy. Minorities account for a significant proportion of this group; nearly a third (32%) are black, roughly the same proportion as among Conservative Democrats. Levels of disapproval of George W. Bush job performance (91%) and candidate choice in 2004 (82% for Kerry) are comparable to those among Liberals. Defining Values Most likely to be skeptical of an individual’s ability to succeed without impediments and most anti-business. Strong belief that government should do more to help the poor, yet most are disenchanted with government. Strongly supportive of organized labor (71% have a favorable view of labor unions). Who They Are Low average incomes (32% below $20,000 in household income); most (77%) often can’t make ends meet. Six-in-ten are female. Three-in-ten (32%) are black and 14% are Hispanic. Not very well educated, 67% have at most a high-school degree. Nearly half (47%) are parents of children living at home. Lifestyle Notes Nearly a quarter (23%) report someone in their household is a member of a labor union, and 58% report that they or someone in the home has been unemployed in the past year– both far larger proportions than in any other group. Only 27% report having a gun in the home. 2004 Election 2% Bush, 82% Kerry Party ID 84% Democrat; 16% Independent/No Preference, 0% Republican (99% Dem/Lean Dem) Media Use Largest viewership of CNN as main news source among all groups (31%). Only group in which a majority (53%) reads newspapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lamb Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Disaffected Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Disaffected typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. Disaffecteds represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters. Basic Description Disaffecteds are deeply cynical about government and unsatisfied with both their own economic situation and the overall state of the nation. Under heavy financial pressure personally, this group is deeply concerned about immigration and environmental policies, particularly to the extent that they affect jobs. Alienated from politics, Disaffecteds have little interest in keeping up with news about politics and government, and few participated in the last election. Defining Values Despite personal financial strain – and belief that success is mostly beyond a person’s control – Disaffecteds are the only moderate supporters of government welfare and assistance to the poor. Strongly oppose immigration as well as regulatory and environmental policies on the grounds that government is ineffective and such measures cost jobs. Who They Are Less educated (70% have attended no college, compared with 49% nationwide) and predominantly male (57%). While a majority (60%) leans Republican, three-in-ten are strict independents, triple the national rate. Disaffecteds live in all parts of the country, though somewhat more are from rural and suburban areas than urban. Lifestyle Notes Somewhat higher percentage report having a gun in the home than the national average, and 42% report someone in their house has been unemployed in the past year. 2004 Election Bush 42%, Kerry 21%. Nearly a quarter (23%) said they didn’t vote in the last election. Party ID 68% Independent/No Preference, 30% Republican, 2% Democrat (60% Rep/LeanRep) Media Use Disaffecteds have little interest in current events and pay little attention to the news. No single medium or network stands out as a main source. Go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Skins Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 It's interesting if you look at the detailed demographic tables...liberals are the only group out of the 9 that: - favors gay marriage - opposes displaying the ten commandments in public buildings - favors cutting defense spending to reduce the deficit - "have a friend, colleague or family member who is gay" On each of those issues, all 8 other groups are on the opposite side of the spectrum, by lopsided margins.

And I would work to eliminate another 40% over time. I am a radical libertarian. Oh and I hate Hillary Clinton. While I don't hate Obama, his politics is way to left for me. Bright guy, though Of all the presidential candidates that have been mentioned, I like Feingold the most. In an ideal world, Ron Paul would be my choice.
