I took something from the Pew poll (peeeeew)

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.

Wooo Hoo I am a minority again ;-)

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.

Lets see.. i've voted for more democrats then republicans and more then half of my votes have been for independents/libertarians/ and democrats ...hahaha

and I don't back the Paytoilet 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.

I am anti-regulation in allot of cases, but not all. I am also what i would call buisness skeptical.

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.

Sorta white ( i need to get my papers to be not white :-p) yeah I'm male.. broke alot, no college degree, no military background, no wife, and i'm a double 10% ... in 1 % wooh :-)


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.

No gun ( I do want one) but my mother has one and i live with her
I have a stock fund at work
don't own a small buisness
and never go to formal religous training

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

Hehe... so not only are we 10% of the voters.. we vote often ;-)


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%).

Rarely watch Fox News, Read the newspaper but not as much as i used to, listen to radio only on the way home from work

and i get lots of news off the Timmy

Do you think the US made the right decision or the wrong decision in using military force against Iraq?

Right decision
Wrong decision

Nationwide Total

Enterprisers

Necessary tool
Goes too far

Enterprisers

so this seems to be a fairly good call by the folks at the P-U survey company
