<p>Interesting findings.</p>
<p>*Reds tend to get their news from cable TV and radio, and they much prefer Leno to any other late-night programming. *</p>
<p>I'm a Leno person myself. I can't stand that pessimistic old mean man Letterman. :)</p>
<p>I just read the whole thing and whether true it is interesting. I liked it. Upcoming surveys in this series are likely to receive my attention.</p>
<p>I didn’t expect the “Reds” to prefer seafood, and “Super Mario Kart” seems to have an unexpectedly resilient popularity. </p>
<p>Given that “Reds” are not all Republican and “Blues” are not all Democrat I’m guessing “Red” and “Blue” are supposed to mean conservative and liberal in some way, though I just don’t know. EDIT: I re-read the last paragraph and this was explained.</p>
<p>I once read a paper supporting the idea that the more academic students preferred Facebook and fringe populations favoured MySpace… interesting twist indeed.</p>
<p>I used to think the Daily Show was impartial. Back when I was a treehugger :D</p>
<p>So it’s no surprise to see them loved by Blues.</p>
<p>*Blues are the second largest ideological group in the country. Almost all of them think the U.S. is on the wrong track, and they are far more likely than the rest of the country to be unsatisfied with their personal, family, business and social life. *</p>
<p>Pessimistic suckas haha</p>
<p>To sum it up:</p>
<p>Reds are old, undereducated, and tasteless.</p>
<p>Yep, despise your elders, despise the ones that didn’t have the opportunity you had, despise those that prefer things different than you.</p>
<p>Such vile hatred and contempt. </p>
<p>Which makes Zogby’s find of Reds prefering Leno all the more significant. Leno is a warm man. Letterman is a cold jerk.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>When did I ever say that I hated them? The Zogby study clearly shows that reds are indeed older and less educated. Tasteless, I suppose, is a subjective call though.</p>
<p>Wow, that is the biggest load of BS I’ve ever seen. I am blue through and through but fit many more of the red characteristics. Meh.</p>
<p>That just goes to show you the diversity of America, roman. Of course, these findings are very loose and not scientifically concrete, but they still show a big picture of how different political preferences also translate into general life preferences.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Suddenly the conservative guy grows compassion for people who don’t have opportunities? I thought America was a perfect level playing field, and all the poor and all the struggling minorities were just inherently inferior or something.</p>
<p>I suppose when a religious white rural conservative lives a less-than-perfect life, then it’s due to “unfortunate lack of circumstances”.</p>
