Poll: Republicans Like To Rock

Interesting, because I’m in that “classic rock” group.  Even my taste in newer music tends to skew toward those bands with a retro-rock sound.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If you are male and a Led Zeppelin fan, chances are you may be leaning toward voting Republican in the U.S. presidential election, according to a survey of rock radio fans released on Wednesday.

The Jacobs Media’s Media/Technology Web Poll IV of more than 27,000 respondents cited stronger than expected interest in the November 2008 election among fans of rock, classic rock, and alternative radio stations.

It also found that John McCain, the Republican candidate for U.S. president, was the top pick for the Oval Office for men and classic rock partisans—those people who tune in to stations playing music from the “original classic rock era” of 1964 to 1975, comprised of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Pink Floyd.

So who do the libs like?  Hair bands, apparently.

The survey found women and fans of alternative radio, featuring ‘80s and ‘90s rock, tend to be Democratic…

Lamers.

Don’t forget the jam bands with their bongos and flutes.

And the soundtrack from “Cats"!



A troll is someone who only wants to stir up trouble, not have an honest debate.  Some signs that a poster is a troll:
* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)
