Some friends and I conducted a non-scientific telephone poll between June 24 to June 26. I used the following cell phone number Area Code and Pre-fixes and a common first number found with each followed by three numbers at random.
706-302-5xxx
706-333-5xxx
706-416-2xxx
706-594-4xxx
706-780-1xxx
404-423-1xxx
678-633-0xxx
678-677-0xxx
250 registered voters "who plan on voting" were polled. Non-registered voters or registered voters who plan not to vote were not counted.
Affiliation was 37% Democrat, 44% Republican, 19% Independent.
Ethnicity: White 82% Non-white 18%
Military Family (active or retired): 23%
Question asked: If the election were held today, who would you vote for: Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
West Georgia, which is south of Atlanta, consists mainly of the small to medium sized cities of Newnan, Lagrange, Columbus, Peachtree City and Carrolton.
The area tends to be fairly affluent and conservative and votes usually republican.
The Columbus area has a large military population at Fort Benning.
Non-white voters tend to vote democrat over 85% of the time.
The poll results would be skewed towards the republican or conservative candidate. Still I find the result surprising, and may reflect other parts of Georgia.
Results:
Overall Trump 56%--Clinton 44%
White: 67% Trump--Clinton 33%
Non-White: 33% Trump--Clinton 67%
Military: Trump 81%--Clinton 19%
Republican: Trump 88%--Clinton 12%
Democrat: Trump 37%--Clinton 63%
Independent: Trump 68%--Clinton 32%
Yes. You know (as do I) that some of the members of any church will vote for Hillary. Elderly believe that Republicans will cut off Social Security overnight, some are just Democrats by birth and have no thought into why, but the real problem is too many people sit there and amen this and that yet have not clue as to how to live their “faith”.
My church has some of the above, has some public school teachers that are conservation until they have a choice in a vote that may raise their portion of their insurance and then will vote for the liberal to stop that, has people that works in government and wants the gravy train to continue, etc. We are considered a very conservative church yet I think in any given election 20-30% of the members probably votes liberal.
I’ve never been able to wrap my head around how someone can vote for the ‘Rat since they are also voting for abortion rights.
People have a responsibility to educate themselves on the issues - we will be held to account for that. I just can’t accept wilful ignorance as an excuse.
I will call people out on that.
‘Pod.
Good job. Thank you.
Mike please tell your church “family” that DJT was born, baptized and raised in the Presbyterian Church (the mother of the Baptists). He went through Confirmation, which is an indepth study of the Bible. And believe me any study put together by Presbyterians is tough. I know. AND DJT grew up in Norman Vincent Peal’s church in N.Y. Remember him? Mr. “Power of Positive Thinking” himself. Notice how well Trump uses what he learned there.
When reading Trump’s books I caught some instances where he commented that he “could have” done something in a different way, “but it would not be the moral thing to do.” Reading his books is what turned me and convinced me that he is the real deal. His “lifestyle” has not been much different from the majority of Americans. We have all fallen short of what we should be. Thank God for His forgiveness.
