Republicans overwhelming choice over Democrats on family values, integrity; Dems lead on tolerance, Zogby Post-Election Survey Reveals
A new poll conducted in 18 states and the District of Columbia reveals that in 17 of the states, Republicans are deemed by voters as better suited than Democrats on family values and integrity.
The Zogby Post-Election Poll, conducted by telephone November 7 –10, continues to look at how specific demographic groups voted in the Midterm elections, and why.19 State Post Election Report
The poll sampled 600 actual voters in 18 states and the District of Columbia. States polled were Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Missouri, and Minnesota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Arkansas, California, and South Dakota.
Of those states, Democrats were judged clearly best suited to promote family values only in the heavily Democratic District of Columbia (Democrats 57%, Republicans 13%). Voters in Massachusetts were split (Democrats 36%, Republicans 35%). In every other state, Republicans were the clear choice to handle family values including California (Republicans 42%, Democrats 31%), Minnesota (Republicans 41%, Democrats 32%), and Texas (Republicans 56%, Democrats 25%).
Integrity
Republicans also are the overwhelming choice over Democrats in 17 states as the party that best represents integrity. Voters in D.C. (Democrats 52%, Republicans 14%) were the only ones polled who deem Democrats the best for handling integrity. Voters in Massachusetts (Democrats 34%, Republicans 32%) were split. Republicans were deemed best to handle integrity by voters in states including Florida (Republicans 43%, Democrats 29%), New York (Republicans 36%, Democrats 29%) and Colorado (Republicans 46%, Democrats 23%).
Tolerance
Democrats were the clear choice in 16 states and the District of Columbia as best suited to handle tolerance. In no state did voters choose Republicans as best representing tolerance. Voters in Louisiana (Democrats 41%, Republicans 42%) and Texas (Democrats 42%, Republicans 40%) were split.
Pollster John Zogby: “In the midst of a war on terrorism, tolerance could become a national issue and help the Democrats. However, as the party re-evaluates itself after its defeat in November, it needs to be looking at why it scores so low on family values and integrity, along with national security and the economy. So far, only the DLC appears to be concerned about the family values deficit. Losing the middle class, especially parents, could be devastating to the Democrats.” 19 State Post Election Report
"For each of the following issues, please tell which party you feel is better equipped to handle the issue - Democrats or Republicans?"
Kissing @ss to buy votes. Truly tolerant DemoRats are the ones who have no ethical or moral standards and will kiss anyone's @ss if it will benefit them or their party.
New Jersey voters refused to participate unless offered a Rolex. Besides the NJ Supreme Court voted 7-0 against integrity.

Suppose a radical group of a foreign religious cult were to commandeer several commuter airplanes and sequentially crash them into various US buildings over the course of several hours in a single day. Hundreds of passengers aboard the planes will be killed. Thousands of innocent US citizens - including children - would be killed in their offices. Which political party would be more tolerant of the religious concerns of the hijackers, Republicans or Democrats?
With Zogby election polls where we can check if he is right or wrong we find he is wrong.
Zogby published election polling we didn't want to hear. It was wrong. Why should I believe him when he tells me things we do want to hear. I would betcha these polls are just a bull crappy as the others.
TOLERANCE? TOLERANCE? We tolerated the crap of the Clinton Administration for 8 LOOOOOONNGGG years! Maybe Zogby wants us to "tolerate" lying, cheating, scamming, spinning, scheming, dissing and decimating our military and other scummy behavior. SORRY, ain't buying it.....it's a bunch of hooey. (I'm being nice.)
Naahh. We didn't tolerate the Clinton Administration. We tolerated the Constitutional process that let him take power, knowing that the same process would remove him sooner or later. Since his colleagues didn't do their job then, the electorate is doing it for them now.
If we didn't tolerate it, someone would have assassinated him.

High Taxes. Legal infanticide of near-term infants. "Everybody does it" Clintonesque morality. Moral relativism. Suppression of conservative viewpoints.

Gesturing? Is that what you call it? Jocelynn Elders calls it safe sex.
So very well stated.
My question, too.
“In the midst of a war on terrorism, tolerance could become a national issue...
What the hell is a "tolerance issue"? What does it have to do with the war on terrorism? Are we supposed to be tolerant of terrorism? If that's the case, there's no question the Democrats are "best suited to handle tolerance"...
Or is Zogby concerned that the time is coming when every truck stop and pool hall will have a "No Palestinians Allowed" sign on the door...???
