Some interesting Stats on why people voted..so the link says


ljs

Recommended Posts

first of all, DON'T SHOOT THE MESSANGER...please. My older brother sent me this link and the most interesting part I found were the stats at the bottom....

http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

71.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

I think this was posted in a thread yesterday. Either that or I'm having deja vu. I think the thread was "Why Obama got elected" or some such.

It actually could be an interesting topic, but I predict this thread implodes quickly.

burg, youre gonna talk **** on multiple threads being made? :silly:

That's legit, then.

Everyone knows 512 Obama voters represents the 65 million or so of us that also voted for him.:doh:

Not shooting the messenger here.

Over 86% of the people surveyed were African American, the poll questions were formulated to give a desired result, this poll is a propaganda piece and Hannity apparently loves it.

exactly... they never do that. I also take it with good grace when people intentionally derail my threads most of the time :)though I'm not sure if that was Candace or you. I'm thinking Candace since she seems to have a problem with me lately. She's gone after me in a number of threads recently.

My brother says you are one of the few intelligent posters around.
