One item of interest in the internals. 48.7% of respondents have 4-year college degree or more. I’m pretty sure that’s way too high. Could explain the Sarah Palin responses.
7% think questions of character are important?? Unreal, and scary, if true. Are we really that shallow as a people, or do Americans really not care what kind of people we elect as long as they get what they think is coming to them? Pretty sad. The elites had some nerve saying the Reagan era was a time of greed, or a “me” decade. Looks to me like that is the case NOW, when people will throw away principles to elect a president who is badly flawed because they think he will take care of them. Heaven help us. Maybe I am being too negative and cynical, and things will not turn out this way. But the signs are not good.
