You seem to know Jack Dawson pretty well.  Given your intimacy with him, I don't think you need to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet how he'll vote.  Why not just go ask him directly?

I just created this fictional blue collar worker to ask how people like him, AKA Reagan Democrats, will vote in this election.

Jack Dawson died on the titanic a century ago....

And played first grade rugby too.

I feel like this all reads out as the stereotype profile of the Reagan Democrat. This is what I'm aiming for in this thread and basically most blue collar workers are in line with Dawson political positions.

Any more hypothesis on the music fans in my post and BRTD's post?

[Vermin Supreme]

Francesco: 98, late stage alcoholic.  knew Antonio Gramsci in the 1920s but soon became a Mussolini supporter.  escaped from Stalinists and made it to the USA in 1944.  he lived here illegally working low-wage and shadow economy jobs until the 1986 Reagan immigration reform allowed him to apply for amnesty, for which he is eternally grateful.  since then he has voted Bush, Perot, Clinton, Bush, Bush, and Obama.  he didn't work enough time on the books to draw SS benefits so he lives in abject poverty, but always makes sure to vote and buy cheap red wine.  pro-life, anti-gay marriage as a Roman Catholic.

Romney.

[Vermin Supreme]

If he's voting social issues, Obama. On economic issues, Romney will be his choice. The definition of a swing voter here.

[Vermin Supreme]

Person 7: My daughter, Adelaide, if she was 19.

Obama

[Vermin Supreme]

How about

-A poor black woman who voted for Hillary in the 2008 Primary and McCain in the general.


Yeah, I met someone who fit that description.

The most important question to solve this question, does this poor black women approve of Barack Obama? If she says approve, she votes for Obama. Disapproval of Obama, she'd definitely go Romney in the GE.

A lot of your ones are kinda hard to say. I think Person 2 is in the Obama camp assuming they vote, but the other 3 are kinda tricky.

Person one seems like a Romney supporter and person three is more likely supporting Obama. Person 4  I would agree is kinda hard to say.

[Vermin Supreme]

No one wants to guess on any of my movie fans of who they'll vote for bases on their movie taste?

[Vermin Supreme]

What makes yo think movie fan 1 would go for Obama considering the demographics for action movies. Movie fan 4 is going to be more likely to cast his ballot for Obama then movie fan 1, who seems like typical macho white guy movie taste.

Uhh, yeah, don't think this one needs any exit poll analysis. She's voted Democrat in every election she's ever voted in (except 1 vote 14 years ago). Don't see how she could be anything but an Obama voter in '12.

You mean him and not her.

[Vermin Supreme]

John M. Kennedy - Obama, pretty safely.

He could vote for third party candidate since he hates Obama stances on issues such as the Patriot Axt and his foreign policy.
