Obama Bar-goers would rather have a beer with Barack Obama than with Hillary Clinton or John McCain, according to a new survey.
The Rock the Vote interactive survey, which asked about predilections for the presidential candidates and current social issues, ran on TouchTunes jukeboxes in bars nationwide. When asked “Which candidate would you most like to have a beer with?” 29 percent chose Obama. 22 percent chose Clinton and 20 percent picked John McCain, according to MediaPost.
When asked which political party “rocks” the most, 34 percent said the Democratic Party, 18 percent said the Republican Party and 18 percent said the Independent Party. Rock bars, country bars and R&B bars all said the Democrats were the party that rocks.
As for their thoughts on current issues, 41 percent said that jobs and the economy were their top issue of concern in this year’s presidential race, while 21 percent said the war in Iraq was their top issue. 15 percent said their top concern was healthcare, followed by 12 percent who cited global warming and 11 percent who named the cost of education.
Top issues differed for men and women, however: for men, the top issues were jobs and the economy, followed by the war and then healthcare; women, like men, cited jobs and the economy first, but switched the second and third issues, citing healthcare next, and then the war.
