Do you think that you're smarter/ more enlightened than the average Democratic voter?

I trust my fellow Democrats. But it seems like a lot of people here do not.

Do you think that you're smarter/ more enlightened than the average Democratic voter?

[Captain Hilts]

1. Not smarter, but better informed about history. Poli Sci degrees, worked in polling, etc. nt

[Bicoastal]

2. Ugh. I'm not voting.

Way to attempt to further splinter us.

[cgrindley]

3. I think I'm smarter than most people

so yeah.

[Orangepeel]

4. I think I am more involved than the average voter and therefore better informed about the issues

Politics is a hobby of mine, so I know more about it than people who aren't involved. Most people aren't as interested -- they are busy dealing with other aspects of their lives and/or turned off by politics and politicians.

5. 90% of people believe they're above average.

[cyclezealot]

6. No I don't support Clinton or Obama

but, come November, I more than likely will be forced to vote for them.

7. wow was that supposed to make me feel like a pompose ass?

[Levgreee]

8. Yes, do very well in schoolwork and enjoy reading/researching in my free time

not tooting my horn, just put more effort into these things, and am a good critical thinker also(partly finished Math Major, switched to Philosophy)

[nonconformist]

9. I didn't know what to pick, so I didn't vote for anything.

I don't think I'm smarter... I'm not very arrogant. I do think I'm much more informed than your average voter, though. I also think that personally, I've had a unique variety of life experience to cull from.

10. How smart can I be? I clicked on yet another link to a DU poll.

:silly:

[gaspee]

11. Since I have

an IQ in the top 1% and three degrees, I do think I'm smarter than a lot of democrats. I'm definitely smarter than all republicans :evilgrin:

Neither of the two front runners represent me or my views. I'm way to the left of all but Mike Gravel.

If I had to choose between Obama or Clinton (who I believe are very similar on most issues) because my primary might actually matter, I'd probably vote Clinton for a few reasons. She doesn't think I need to be "cured" -- she talks about accepting us GLBTQ folk rather than "tolerating" us as you tolerate something you don't like, and I like her personally. Having met Barack, I didn't like him - at all. But that was before he was running for president and had to be nice to people.

I don't know how I'm going to vote. Maybe I'll write in Gore. Or I'll still vote for Edwards.

Just don't know yet. The one thing I *do* know is that Obama isn't getting my vote, either of my parents votes or my brother's vote. He *might* get my sister's vote.

RI DEM primary will typically only have around 15,000 voters so my vote might actually count for something.

14. Impressive... but if you do a write-in on election day

you'll be supporting the meme that the people with high IQs lack common sense. :shrug:

[gaspee]

16. Uhmmm

In my case, it's kind of true...

[Dob Bole]

12. I'm smarter than the average DU pollster, I can tell you that!

;)

[IndianaGreen]

13. It is not an issue of being "smarter," but of being better informed

Most voters had not kept up with the news. Polls show that nearly a majority of Americans still believe Iraq was involved on 9-11.

[BooScout]

15. I'm not voting.........and so far the results don't surprise me.....

Sometimes the people who think they are the smartest are in truth the dumbest.
