DI Presidential Election Survey reveals deep divides: WHO TOOK OUR SURVEY

Who Took Our Survey?
Again, this survey is not scientific, therefore overall numbers do not necessarily reflect the sentiment of all Daniel Island voters. Nonetheless, certain trends and comments are noteworthy. We begin by first explaining who took the survey, based on gender, age, political orientation and political preference.

Of the 291 residents who responded to the survey, 61% were female, 39% male.

Survey Respondents: less than 12% are under 40 years old, more than 44% are age 60 or older.

Among those who filled out the survey, more than 15% were born in South Carolina, trailed closely by New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio. All told, survey respondents listed 34 states plus a host of foreign countries.

Filtering the data based on gender and political orientation, here’s what we learned about the 291 survey respondents:
• Women: Nearly 8% of women labeled themselves as “strongly liberal” with 9% saying they’re “strongly conservative.” Overall, 50% of women said they’re on the liberal side of the aisle, with 15% in the middle, 35% on the conservative side.
• Men: 7% of men labeled themselves as “strongly liberal” with 16% saying they’re “strongly conservative.” Overall, 23% of men said they’re on the liberal side, 17% in the middle and 60% on the conservative side.

The chart above illustrates that survey respondents, in general, are evenly balanced between the major parties, with slightly more respondents voting Republican in years past.
