Gallup: Married = Republican, etc.

Go see some fun polling data from Gallup, the findings indicate that
  • Married people are more likely to be Republicans while unmarried people are more likely to be Democrats
  • Men are more likely to be Republicans while women are more likely to be Democrats
  • Unmarried women are the only group where over 50% say they are Democrats
  • Republicans are more excited about voting in November than are Democrats. There is a 20 percentage point difference: 57% vs. 37%
  • Of all age groups, only Millennials (18-29) favor the Democrats
Apparently, life isn't working out very well for unmarried women, making them a victim group twice over. The Democratic Party is largely made up of victim groups.

Although it is a long time until November, the "excitement" issue is probably the most important, for as the article says:
Those who are enthusiastic about voting would be more likely to turn out to vote than those who are not enthusiastic.
