Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois.

Well, it looks like Barack Obama is more popular in Brownstone Brooklyn than in New Hampshire. Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton came in second with 29% and Edwards a distant third with 15% (there’s something the two areas agreed on). The other most interesting number: 28% of respondents said that they would support Mayor Bloomberg instead if he were to decide to run. Only 7% of respondents reported being Republican. Surprised?
Update: We’ve added a lot more detail on the jump.

Duh! Obviously the important other factor we left out was sex.
You mean who was Che.
what is Che?
10:46, I own and I’m a democrat. Though I do not totally agree with you simplicistic view-I think someone that owns (in NYC) is more likely to be Repulican than someone who rents.
I agree with everyone above who has requested a demographic breakdown of the results. I gave up this information about myself in good faith that you would post the results. Had I known that you would not be using all the information requested in your poll I may not have answered the questions.
Brownstoner is no fool –
Wait until the posts trickle down after about 150-175. Then a release of the data on a new thread will fire up more activity.
Maybe tomorrow, just to keep the flow of activity spread out.
11:00- try shooting them all dead. Che was not one for half-measures.
“Mr B
I agree with those prior posters who ask for the full breakdown. We were generous enough to share our race/income etc, now you tell us the results.”
Why wait for B-stoners. Let’s do it ourselves.
African-American
I vote Republican
Park Slope
Less than $100000 a year
Don’t remember the other questions
10:54am You didn’t say pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeee.
I’m a registered democrat, but I’ve resolved not to vote for anyone who voted to authorize this war. That means that, if Obama is eliminated, I’m screwed! If it comes to that, I guess I’ll look for some third party candidate to support–which I wouldn’t mind too much, as I think the two party stranglehold on American politics is probably a bigger problem than the war, the economy, health care, or anything else.
