Federal employees? Seems odd. But, don’t a lot of those live in northern Virginia?
Federal employees are scattered all over the place but tend to work in about 10 big cities (let’s see—D.C., Denver, SF, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle).
I think this poll of feds (not scientific, but interesting) may have included some of retired military, and feds are a rapidly aging group (aren’t we all). Maybe they are getting less Dem these days. Once can hope.
I don’t find it odd...my hubby is a retired federal employee...39 years service which includes time served with the United States Air Force...1964-1968...he is very conservative and has voted republican since he was old enough to vote...we don’t live anywhere in Virginia either...:)
