Kiss-and-Tell Presidential Polling

(Page 4 of 4)

Who’s the Best Match for Internet Daters? It's more than lingering animosity over the Florida recount fiasco in 2000 that has Kerry hoping that every single vote is counted. He wallops his rival in popularity among single voters.

Match.com's poll of unmarried voters shows Kerry with a lead of 54 percent to 46 percent over Bush. Gallup interviewed more than 1,001 single voters, although it's unclear whether pollsters called when they were home along on a Saturday night, and perhaps a little bitter.

Who’s More Fun at the Bar?

Both candidates lost when Bass beer asked Boston pub patrons, "Who'd you rather drink with?" The real winner was Edwards, who was the drinking partner of choice for 29 percent of barflies interviewed by research firm Chadwick Martin and Bailey.

Bush no longer drinks, yet still edged out Kerry by 28 percent to 24 percent for second place, even though the poll was conducted in Kerry's back yard.

The 200 pub-goers who were interviewed offered especially sobering news for Bush's running mate. Only 6 percent wanted to drink with Cheney, and that's less than the 14 percent who said they'd drink alone rather than toss back a few with any of the candidates.

We'll have to see who's buying the next round on Election Day, when losers tend to drown their sorrows and winners expect someone else to spring for the next round.
