"Moralfrågor" avgjorde valet
Buzzmachine har tittat närmare på NBC:s vallokalsundersökningar och hittar "fascinerande och överaskande" uppgifter om vad som egentligen avgjorde valet.
The top issue (21%) was "moral values"; 78% of those who cared about that went for Bush, 19% for Kerry. That's a huge difference. Read this one as you will (MSNBC commentators see it as code for Vietnam and the Swifties).
Next: economy/jobs at 20%; 81% preferring Kerry, 17% Bush. So Kerry got much better marks on the economy.
Terror comes in third at 18%; 85% preferring Bush, 15% Kerry. That's the one that amazes me -- not in the Kerry/Bush split but in the importance voters gave it. Bush ran on terrorism; it wasn't No. 1 in the minds of voters; yet he still won
Iraq comes in next at 15%; 75% preferring Kerry, 24% Bush. No surprise.
