    Old Salt Big Time BS

    Do you think that if Hillary and Obama are still close on delegate count when they get to the convention that Hillary will be able to get Florida and Michigan's votes to count? Seems to me that she was the only Democrat on both ballots. Their rules committee might agree to it rather than have the "super delegates" decide the nomination.

    Enterpriser
    Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Enterpriser typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.

    Enterprisers represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters.

    Basic Description
    As in previous studies conducted in 1987, 1994 and 1999, this extremely partisan Republican group?s politics are driven by a belief in the free enterprise system and social values that reflect a conservative agenda. Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act.

    Defining Values
    Assertive on foreign policy and patriotic; anti-regulation and pro-business; very little support for government help to the poor; strong belief that individuals are responsible for their own well being. Conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, but not much more religious than the nation as a whole. Very satisfied with personal financial situation.

    Who They Are
    Predominantly white (91%), male (76%) and financially well-off (62% have household incomes of at least $50,000, compared with 40% nationwide). Nearly half (46%) have a college degree, and 77% are married. Nearly a quarter (23%) are themselves military veterans. Only 10% are under age 30.

    Lifestyle Notes
    59% report having a gun in their homes; 53% trade stocks and bonds in the stock market, and 30% are small business owners ? all of which are the highest percentages among typology groups. 48% attend church weekly; 36% attend bible study or prayer group meetings.

    2004 Election
    Bush 92%, Kerry 1%. Bush?s most reliable supporters (just 4% of Enterprisers did not vote)

    Party ID
    81% Republican, 18% Independent/No Preference, 1% Democrat (98% Rep/LeanRep)

    Media Use
    Enterprisers follow news about government and politics more closely than any other group, and exhibit the most knowledge about world affairs. The Fox News Channel is their primary source of news (46% cite it as a main source) followed by newspapers (42%) radio (31%) and the internet (26%).

    I'm Upbeat:)

    Upbeat

    Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Upbeat typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.

    Upbeats represent 11 percent of the American public, and 13 percent of registered voters.

    Basic Description
    Upbeats express positive views about the economy, government and society. Satisfied with their own financial situation and the direction the nation is heading, these voters support George W. Bush?s leadership in economic matters more than on social or foreign policy issues. Combining highly favorable views of government with equally positive views of business and the marketplace, Upbeats believe that success is in people?s own hands, and that businesses make a positive contribution to society. This group also has a very favorable view of immigrants.

    Defining Values
    Very favorable views of government performance and responsiveness defines the group, along with similarly positive outlook on the role of business in society. While most support the war in Iraq, Upbeats have mixed views on foreign policy ? but most favor preemptive military action against countries that threaten the U.S. Religious, but decidedly moderate in views about social and cultural issues.

    Who They Are
    Relatively young (26% are under 30) and well-educated, Upbeats are the second wealthiest group after Enterprisers (39% have household incomes of $75,000 or more). The highest proportion of Catholics (30%) and white mainline Protestants (28%) of all groups, although fewer than half (46%) attend church weekly. Mostly white (87%), suburban, and married, they are evenly split between men and women.

    Lifestyle Notes
    High rate of stock ownership (42%, 2nd after Enterprisers).

    2004 Election
    Bush 63%, Kerry 14%.

    Party ID
    56% Independent/No Preference, 39% Republican, 5% Democrat (73% Rep/LeanRep)

    Media Use
    Upbeats are second only to Liberals in citing the internet as their main news source (34% compared with 23% nationwide); 46% also cite newspapers. No more or less engaged in politics than the national average.
