Study: Democrats Watch More TV!

Democrats watch more TV talk shows and Republicans watch more sports on TV. Click here for article.

Does it make you feel better that a Democratic president and congress were voted in by people who watch more TV talk shows and watch music videos?

I also found it interesting that the TV audience for college football is heavy Republican.

What does this mean?

Maybe it will mean that the Republicans are better then at drop kicking, throwing a good pass so that come Nov we'll kick-out and throw-out the Dems. lol

Once I got the chart orientated in my head, if I were asked to GUESS where each television format would have gone, I would have gotten it VERY close.

Not so fast.

If you don't call "Sports" television, your misleading subject title would be correct:

The survey, from National Media Inc. using data from Nielsen and Arbitron, concludes that media buyers looking to target conservative viewers should dedicate ad dollars to sports telecasts -- particularly, the PGA Tour, college football and NASCAR. Of the 26 sports surveyed, 14 skewed Republican.

I am sure if Soccer was added, the whole sports group would have shifted at least 20% to the left.

HAHA.

Is this due to European influence or general disinterest of conservatives in Soccer?

I don't know... growing up, soccer was definitely a preppy sport, and those "soccer moms" were the old "hockey moms" of days of old.
