The Marriage Gap: Married People Support Romney, Singles Support Obama

September 16, 2012 By

Hello, are you married?  No, I’m not trying to pick you up… I’m trying to determine which candidate you support!

According to a new study released today by Gallup, marriage is a significant indicator of party affiliation:

Married registered voters prefer Republican challenger Mitt Romney over Democratic President Barack Obama by 54% to 39%, according to Gallup data collected from June to August. On the other hand, nonmarried voters break strongly for the president over Romney, 56% to 35%. Marriage is a significant predictor of presidential vote choice even after income, age, race, gender, education, religiosity, region, and having minor children are statistically controlled for.

Read the rest here, though the article — sadly — doesn’t contain advice for single Republicans trying to find other conservatives to marry.

    This is because republicans look down on anyone who doesn’t fit the idea of the “perfect family”. They hate gay parents and single parents, so what did you expect?
