IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama

Posted by kdawson on from the deadlock-condition dept.

antipeon alerts us to a presidential preference survey, done in late February and early March, indicating that Obama and McCain lead among IT workers with 29% each. Clinton follows with 13%, just ahead of Huckabee (11%) and Ron Paul (9%). The Computing Technology Industry Association commissioned the poll, and the article notes that this trade group claims the population of IT workers is four times as large as the Bureau of Labor Statistics thinks it is — the better to make a voting block whose views must be attended to.

    Amazing, one of the most reasoned posts in this entire article and marked as flamebait.

    Why doesn't slashdot post the religious breakdowns of IT workers while we are at it, kdawson?

    If someone did such a survey, I think it would be Slashdot-worthy-- that would be very interesting information to have, even if it doesn't involve code or solder.

    Sucks to have to deal with the fact that everything I said was true huh? Way easier to hide in the shadows and mod me down for saying something you don't like.
