A poll about age here in GDP.

[zanne]

It occurred to me that age might be making a big difference in our opinions here. Please take this poll.

1. This poll won't show, however, who disagrees with whom.

Or their respective ages.

7. I just wanted to get an idea of the dominant age group here. nt

2. 20-35 is pretty sweeping for that category.

I only say that because it's the difference of being raised with Reagan/Bush to Clinton/Bush, through educationally formative years. I'll be 34 in a few months and have a very different political impression than those that might even be 28.

4. Exactly, thank you

:)

5. I'm 26 and I like puppies!

I hope Barack Obama likes puppies too.

6. I'm 55 and I've noticed that I'm more liberal than alot of young people.

I lived through the McCarthy years, the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam era and the birth of the Women's Rights movement. I think it radicalized me. In a way, I understand the Karl Roves in this country, because they were around in the 60's and 70's, too. It wasn't pretty.

25. I think this election may be radicalizing the new voters

Im 22, and a lot of people my age seem to be more radical. Bushco may have radicalized an entire generation to the left.

26. I am almost 60 years old....

...and, yes, I lived through what you listed. The assholes are still in power. SSDD...sigh.

12. If you think it's bad now, just wait until

you are in the 55-85 group.

:D

[Raine]

21. Yeah really

it's quite a downer especially when you just got into that category cause you're just slighty over the limit for the one before it. *sigh*

3. Can we just put the answer in DU FAQs?

There must be two dozen of these floating in the archive. I'm sure it would make the advertisers jobs easier.

8. What do you mean? nt

9. I mean this question gets asked every month, sometimes more often

Almost as common is the partner question about level of education.

These things matter to marketers; they make ads to fit age-education-income profiles.

[zanne]

14. I didn't know that; I don't come to GDP often. nt

[stillcool]

18. Do you think everything stays the same?

[rucky]

10. LOL

I know you are, but what am I?

[fight4my3sons]

11. I just noticed one thing. I'm 35 and checked the 35-55, but

noticed that 35 is also in the 20 something to 35 group also. :shrug:

[bunnies]

20. LOL. I'll be 35 in a week and made damn sure to chose the 20-35 group.

Probably the last time I'll be able to do that. :)

[skater314159]

13. I'm 25-35. nt

[clevbot]

16. 22

[sniffa]

15. I'm a Ford baby

32

[Forkboy]

22. I'm a Chevy baby.

At least, that's what I heard.

[goldcanyonaz]

17. 55-85? Wow, that's a HUGE gap.

[zanne]

24. I was winging it. nt

[LordJFT]
