Rasmussen: 'Is America generally fair?' Yes--> McCain vote, No--> Democratic vote
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 07:11 PM by ProgressiveEconomist
The latest Rasmussen analysis of its poll of 500 Pennsylvanians notes a stark divide in opinion that could hold the key to victory in November.

Had you seen results on Presidential preference by perception of unfairness before? IMO these results show clearly that there are two realities in Pennsylvania (and very likely in America as a whole). One reality sees little unfairness or injustice and goes overwhelmingly for McCain, while the other seems aware of social conditions that crush the life chances of many children, and goes even more overwhelmingly Democratic.

Do you think it's possible for Democrats to work with this opinion divide to build a majority in November? How?

From http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/pennsylvania_2008_presidential_election :

"62% of Pennsylvania voters believe that American society is generally fair and decent. Among these voters, McCain leads both Democrats by more than twenty percentage points. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Pennsylvania voters say that American society is generally unfair and discriminatory. Among these voters, both Democrats have a wide advantage. Clinton leads McCain by a two-to-one margin, Obama by a three-to-one margin."
