Sport fans are basically the average voting population. Minority fans will vote Democrat and white fans vote Republican.

Scientologists vote might be higher for Romney consider Romney favorite book is Battlefield Earth(didn't know this until I watch that video in this thread). Obama still wins this demographic though,

No way does Romney win the bottom two. Metalheads will more likely vote  strongly third party with Obama at 20% and Romney 15%. Obama wins the video gamer demographic by just having PS3 on his side. XBOX voters are more of a Romney voting base then PS3 demographic.

I initially thought that as well, but then I factored in NASCAR, golf, etc and then thought of the type of people that would typical identify as a "sports fan". My margin may be a bit high, but I think middle class white people are a group that is currently favorable territory for Romney.

Most metal heads I know are more conservative than fans of other music (spare country), at best libertarian, especially depending on how wide you want to set the metric for a "metal head". If you throw in fans of 80s metal and the like, this group trends even whiter for Romney.

Finally, I thought of the people who would have the financial capacity to own both a 360 and a PS3 (and thoroughly enjoy both). I think that would predominately be middle/upper middle class white people. This is pure conjecture though, I could certainly be wrong.

Fair enough about redneck racing and golf. I wager NFL is lean Republican, NHL lean Democratic, MLB lean Republican, and NBA strong Democratic. All of this based on the demographics that watch those sports.

Libertarian is the best word to describe most metalheads political views. Besides three metal heads that I knew that were leftists, all the rest of them have been supporting Ron Paul for president. And they also tend to be very anti politically correct when they speak out.

Someone who could own both are more likely to be more younger and educated, which will trend into D column.

You could be right if we are talking solely about people who have bought both systems for themselves. However, I would wager that the majority of gaming systems are purchased by parents for their children (pure conjecture based on observation); and if they count as "owners" then it could very well be a Romney-leaning group.
