Poll: Quick, Early Election Poll For American Voters

In My Humble Opinion
41

1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?
Maine is blue.

2. Are you registered to vote?
Yes I am.

3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?
Yes I do. I intend to vote for Barack Obama

4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?
Obama, easily.

5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?
Tipping slightly, or maybe a little more than slightly, toward Obama. I have one or two hard-core conservative friends who will definitely vote McCain and one thoroughly confused friend who told me he will probably vote for McCain (but I doubt he’ll even vote anyway). However most people I talk to are going the Obama way.

What I’m shocked about is that New Hampshire is showing either Red or Swing in a lot of poll maps I’ve seen. My parents live in New Hampshire and they are the epitome of the Socially Liberal/Fiscally Conservative set, and I think they’re both voting Obama.

**
4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?**
Probably McCain, but I think it will be a real squeaker.
**

  1. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? **
    I only know one person planning to vote for McCain (my dad), but I work at a college and live in very blue corner of the state.
47

I am currently living in Iraq which is neither but I am registered to vote in New Jersey which is very blue.

**2. Are you registered to vote?**Yes

**3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?**Yes but I am never confident that my absentee ballot will be counted. McCain.

4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?
Something very strange would have to happen for NJ to not go Democrat. Obama with little difficulty.

**5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? **I tend not to discuss politics. Of those currently around me who discuss politics 100% plan to put in absentee ballots and 100% are for McCain. I’m sure there are some for Obama but they haven’t been vocal about it.

ETA I remeber one guy talking about voting for Obama. No one around him agreed.

48

California is a purple state, pretty much, right?

I am registered.

I plan to vote for Obama, even though I was a Clinton fan after saw them both in Iowa. While he has a magnetic personal force, she impressed me more. I had previously been for Obama.

I only know one person who isn’t rabidly against mcain, and palin might make him vote for obama anyway.

Everyone I know is planning to vote.

I don’t get out into the republican parts of the state, so I dunno.

49

1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)? Blue-Rhode Island

2. Are you registered to vote?
Yes

3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?
Yes, Obama

4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state? Obama
**5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? **
Friends and Family all skew Obama, heavily. Co-workers, I own my own business…contracts I go to…tend towards Obama. I don’t know many republicans anymore, many are fed up with the past admin and are voting dem this year.

50

Blue state

Registered

Probably McCain, maybe Ron Paul.

Obama, barring the appearance of conclusive evidence of him molesting children and small dogs.

Family is 80/20 in favor of McCain. Friends are about evenly split between Obama/McCain/writing in Paul. No one likes Bob Barr. Not sure if my coworkers are registered or even citizens.

51

  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)? Blue

  2. Are you registered to vote? Yes

  3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom? Yes, for Obama

  4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state? Obama, easily.

  5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? I’m surprised, but they’re split 50-50.

52
  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?

Pennsylvania, which many say is a swing state but there are others that say it’s blue. (or at least has been for the last few pres elections)

  1. Are you registered to vote?

Yes

  1. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?

HELL YES. OBAMA BABY!!! :slight_smile:

  1. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?

Obama. We’ve been blue for the last few elections, we have a democratic as a governor and Philly and the surrounds will always bring the dems to victory.

  1. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?

Well, I hang with a pretty democratic/politically active crowd and am from a pretty politically active family, so I think it’s close to 100%. Most for Obama, but there is the occasional green in the bunch. I do not personally know anyone who is voting for McCain, or at least who will admit it.

53
  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?

Red state (Florida)

  1. Are you registered to vote?

Of course!

  1. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?

Yes, for Obama.

  1. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?

If we were going by Palm Beach County alone, Obama would win by a landslide. However, there are many parts of Florida that are much more conservative. I think the state could go either way at this point.

  1. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?

My parents are voting for McCain (Mom is a proud Dubya supporter), but all of my friends, family and coworkers are Obama supporters. Should be an interesting race.

ETA: The only person I know who’s not voting is my grandmother. She sits out every election and then bitches that the country is going to hell in a handbasket.

54

1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?

Blue, as my location would suggest.

2. Are you registered to vote?

Yup.

3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?

I will vote and it this point it is about 98% likely it will be for Obama. I’m just always careful to reserve the right to change my mind.

I will not vote for McCain this cycle, for foreign and social policy reasons, plus his particular VP pick ( which sort of solidified my decision ). I will not vote third party candidates for federal office unless they show a real chance at winning ( i.e. effectively never ). So if Obama annoys me off enough to change my mind, the ballot will be left blank for President.

4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?

I think Obama is safe.

**5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? **

Friends largely for Obama, with a few possible outliers that might go McCain.

Immediate family either nobody or Obama.

More distant family…eh, I’m not in touch mostly, so hard to say. I’d guess ( really pretty close to a WAG ) at split among the western Pennsylvania-centered branch and perhaps a strong lean towards McCain among the Maryland/Virginia-centered group.

Co-workers, fairly solidly Obama I’m reasonably sure ( Bay Area, unionized, blue and white collar ) by maybe 70-80%.

55

1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)? Both red (temp nonresident in ND, Perm MT resident)

2. Are you registered to vote? Yes, in Montana.
**
3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?** Obama

4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state? McCain

**5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom? ** close to 100% will vote, 99% of my family, friends and coworkers (2% of whom are in my home state) will vote Obama. Close to 99% of my employees and neighbors will vote McCain.

56

  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)? Blue

  2. Are you registered to vote? Yes

  3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom? Obama (for pres. it probably doesn’t matter who I vote for, but I want to go vote down that abysmal constitutional amendment)

  4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state? Obama (I’m surprised people are suggesting otherwise-- no one even advertises here)

  5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?

Friends: 100% Obama
Family: 100% Obama on the ones I share blood with. Texan inlaws likely 100% McCain. We don’t discuss politics.
Coworkers: Only about 1/4 of them are American citizens, but they’re all (citizens or not) pretty aggressively pro-Obama. There might be some poor conservative keeping their head down, but you’d never know it.

(kevja, I’m impressed there are 130,000 people in San Francisco who voted for Bush.)

57

  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?
    I live overseas, but am from Nevada.

  2. Are you registered to vote?
    Yes.

  3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?
    Absolutely. Obama.

  4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?
    Tough to say… I think McCain may win by a small margin… all the more reason to make sure my absentee ballot is counted.

  5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?
    100%. All for Obama except for Mom (McCain) and one brother (Bob Barr). I have always voted Libertarian too but this time will vote for Obama because I think he has a real shot as getting health care available to anyone in America.

58
  1. Blue state- NJ
  2. Yes
  3. Absolutely, for Obama all the way
  4. Obama… he better take NJ.
  5. 90%, My brother claims to be Republican but never votes. I’d say of the voters, 80% will go for Obama, 20% for McCain, but it could go 100% Obama; I’m not sure of one person’s private racism level but I’m hoping it’s lower than I think it is.
59

  1. I currently live in Texas but am registered to vote in Louisiana. Both are red states.

  2. see above

  3. Obama

  4. McCain, in both cases, by a long shot. I’m resigned to the fact that he’ll win the whole election. It will be a pleasant surprise if Obama takes it, emphasis on “surprise.”

  5. Probably all of my close friends will vote Obama. Widen the circle and there may be a few McCain or 3rd party voters. My whole family is going to definitely vote for McCain, with the possible exception of my younger stepbrother. If he votes at all, it’ll probably be 3rd party (maybe Obama). I think my mom would have voted for Hillary but is probably leaning to McCain at this point (still, she’s more liberal than the rest of her family and most of her friends, which tells you how things are in the white South). I imagine my classmates and coworkers are more likely to vote Obama but I can’t even begin to guess percentages.

60

  1. Do you live in a Red State, Blue State or Swing State (to date)?
    Swing state.

  2. Are you registered to vote?
    Yes.

  3. Do you intend to vote, and if so, for whom?
    Absolutely, for Obama.

  4. From your vantage point, in your state, who do you think will win in your state?
    Impossible to tell. It’s all those people who migrated from West Virginia to SE Ohio who are the problem. And of course the Amish.

  5. From your circle of friends, family and co-workers, what percentage intend to vote this year and for whom?
    Everyone I know is voting, almost unanimously for Obama.
