I wound up a Staunch Conservative, but it blatantly ignored my choices, it seemed.
It said I'm pro-military even though I voted that diplomacy is necessary to ensure peace and that people should not have to fight in wars they disagree with. It also said I'm a self-defined patriot in spite of the above. Further, it called my anti-gay even though I said society should accept homosexuals.
The rest is right though - pro-business, "anti-environment" (a bullshit phrase, but whatever), pro-life, anti-social welfare, distrustful of government, unsupportive of the women's movement, and, marginally, little concern for the poor (that actually isn't true, but it is true in the sense they mean it, that I'm not willing to give them handouts).
Whatever. Another biased test.

I was a disaffected
but when I read over the list of what makes a dissaffected I had chosen differently many times
I think I was put there just because I don't belong anywhere else (and I don't like the corporate/political situation)

Defining Values:
Distrustful of government, politicians, and business corporations. Favor creation of third major political party. Also, anti-immigrant and intolerant of homosexuality. Very unsatisfied financially.
Who They Are:
Less-educated (only 8% have a college degree) and lower-income (84% make less than $50,000). Half are between the ages of 30-49. Second only to Partisan Poor in number of single parents.
Top Priorites for the Next President:
Social Security (27%)
Education (19%)
Top Issues and Concerns in the 2000 Election:
Not having enough money for retirement (92%)
Being unable to afford health care for a sick family member (91%)
Adding prescription drug benefits to Medicare (91%)
Being unable to put a child through college (85%)
Using payroll taxes for private retirement accounts (82%)
Analysis:
The Disaffecteds feel completely estranged from both parties. This financially pressured and pessimistic group is not only dissatisfied with the ability of politicians to help improve things, but also has less faith in America in general. |
Hey Natan, apparantly that's what I should be doing as well. Maybe we should form one of those white, Protestant, homophobic, money-counting clubs.

Wow, that's nice to know that since I'm a libertarian and am opposed to government interventionism, I'm also a old, married, anti-gay, Protestant, who considers morality to be the top priority in an elected official.
Overall, an excellent poll that came really close to getting the real, 18 year old, single, Roman Catholic, who considers homosexuality to be just fine in other people and who loves nothing more than to smoke copious amounts of weed.
This thing is pathetic. It just reveals PBS's own belief that bigoted-ass Republicans are the same thing as blotto, pot-head, Libertarians.

"New Prosperity Independent", which I guess is as close to libertarian as this poll recognizes. It's not much more bogus than most of the other polls I've seen here, and better than some.
