It's been a long time since I've posted in this forum, but I always use this site to look up election info, and thought I could share something here.
I spent the last three months canvassing 5 days a week neighborhoods in and around Seattle, Washington for the DNC. I talked to thousands of people about politics: democrats, republicans, undecideds.
Every day, I would meet a republican or two who told me that they weren't supporting Bush this year...sometimes they'd say they were supporting Kerry.
These republicans tended to have the following characteristics:
1. They were middle-aged
2. They tended to be upper middle class
3. Their biggest concerns were the erosion of America's image around the world and the administration's lack of fiscal discipline.
Younger republicans, esp. those with young children, seemed very supportive of Bush. Older, very wealthy republicans were the same way. (my judge of wealth was simply their home and automobiles). But the middle aged group, perhaps those without kids or with grown up kids, seemed more likely to be critical.
