For the 12,314th time: The merit of this poll is questionable, but if true it does mean Obama could be in for a serious shock.
Federal employees lean Democratic by a significant margin. This may have changed a bit after eight years of Bush, but I’d assume it’s still 60-40 Democrat, conservatively. If your livelihood depended on expanding government, it’s natural you’d usually vote Democrat.

If these numbers are reliable, it bodes well for northern Virginia which is positively lumpy with federal workers.

Obama loses a little in every voting subgroup but makes it up on volume.

this poll would make sense if the definition of federal employee includes members of the military.

That the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Very logical, really.

This bodes well... 68% of federal employees voted for Gore in 2000.

I question this poll. Virginia is full of federal employees. I am convinced the fed emp are the reason why McCain is losing in VA. Obama is going to keep the pork rolling for the fed. emp., that is why VA is supporting Obama.

It appears that the military is not included in "Federal employees" here.
So why does the Federal bureaucracy act like a bunch of communists?

this poll would make sense if the definition of federal employee includes members of the military. I really doubt that non-civilians were included. Civilian employees of DOD, sure.

LOL...who would have thunk.

I actually was one of the respondents in this poll (I’m a federal employee).
I was surprised and pleased to see these results. The union is big here (they annoy me no end).
Unfortunately my vote won’t help too much; I work in SF.

Gee did the ‘no tax increase’ dropping to now $120K have any effect on this poll?

If that is the case, then this would be surprising.

This would be very unusual.
Government workers always supports the party that wants more government- the Dems.

I work for the US Army and I can tell you why the Fed Emp are leaning toward McCain. Obama has promised to cut the Military & cut the Missile Defense programs out completely.
The Fed Emp’s here are scared stiff that Obama will win. They like him, but can't afford to vote for him.
It comes down to there JOBS or the O Messiah!!!!!!!!!
