As mentioned, this is something I hope to work on and will hopefully get some help from friends on in future polls. <strong>The gender breakdown was: 92 Females, 169 Males, and 4 in the other category: 1 Genderqueer, 1 human, 1 Non-binary, and 1\u00a0trans.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The female respondents selected:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>50 for Bernie Sanders (54%)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>35 for Hillary Clinton (38%)<\/li>\n<li>2 for Donald Trump (2%)<\/li>\n<li>2 for Marco Rubio (2%)<\/li>\n<li>1 for Ted Cruz (1%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The male respondents selected:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>116 for Bernie Sanders (69%)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>29\u00a0for Hillary Clinton (17%)<\/li>\n<li>5 for Jill Stein (all write-ins) (3%)<\/li>\n<li>4 for Marco Rubio (2%)<\/li>\n<li>3\u00a0for Donald Trump (2%)<\/li>\n<li>3 for Ted Cruz (2%)<\/li>\n<li>1 for John Kasich (1%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The others gave two votes to Hillary Clinton (50%), one to Jill Stein (25%) and one to Bernie Sanders (25%)<\/p>\n<p>Here we can see a very clear difference between male and female respondents, with Bernie Sanders getting selected by 15% more of the males who took the pole and Hillary Clinton getting over double the support (21%) from females in the poll. Also noteworthy were the\u00a0<em>five<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jill_Stein\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jill Stein<\/a> write-ins by male voters and the one from the other category.\u00a0\u00a0Stein will be added as an option in future polls.<\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019ll call it good with this data. I\u2019ve learned a lot (don\u2019t use SurveyMonkey) and will be asking for help on future surveys to get better responses from women and the Asian American Buddhist community. With larger Asian Buddhist turnout we should \u2013 as per Jeff Wilson\u2019s writing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/2016\/03\/buddhist-political-leanings-in-the-american-presidential-race-2016-continued.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">in our last post<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 see more responses in favor of Republican candidates. Hopefully this will allow us to chart how opinions shift as the field there thins. Similarly, despite Hillary Clinton\u2019s strong turnout today, Bernie Sanders has vowed to stay in the primaries until all states have voted. That means we\u2019ll have plenty of time for his either gaining or losing support among Buddhists.<\/p>\n<p>A friend suggested I add a \u201ccradle\u201d vs \u201cconvert\u201d question and I\u2019m strongly considering this, as many Asian Buddhists (himself included) are in fact converts and do not align in general with \u201ccradle\u201d Buddhists such as those mentioned in Wilson\u2019s writing (\u201cAnti-Communism drives many such Buddhists into the Republican Party, as does similar views on traditional values, economic policy, patriotism, and other issues.\u201d). A third option here would be \u201csympathizers\u201d or individuals who hold other religious affiliation but are influenced by <a href='https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/library\/buddhism' target='_blank'>Buddhism<\/a> in thought and\/or practice.\u00a0Thoughts on this question would be welcome.<\/p>\n<p>I also plan to ask respondents to select \u201cAsian\u201d, \u201cBlack\u201d, \u201cLatin@\u201d, \u201cMixed\u201d, \u201cNative American\u201d, and \u201cWhite\u201d. This is based on largest groupings of self-identified race\/ethnicity on the recent poll. There will be an option to further elaborate on any or select \u201cother\u201d and fill in a precise self-identification.<\/p>\n<p>There were a large number of Unitarian Universalists included in the \u201cother\u201d under religious affiliation, so that will also be added as a category.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p><center><\/center><center><em>Stay in touch with American Buddhist Perspectives on Facebook:<\/em><\/center>\n<div class=\"fb-page\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/americanbuddhistperspectives\" data-width=\"500\" data-small-header=\"false\" data-adapt-container-width=\"true\" data-hide-cover=\"false\" data-show-facepile=\"true\" data-show-posts=\"false\">\n<div class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\">\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/americanbuddhistperspectives\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"FacebookURL\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">American Buddhist Perspectives<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"height: 442px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"gray\" width=\"600px height=\">\n<h3><em>Become a supporter of American Buddhist Perspectives<\/em><\/h3>\n<h6>\u201cSociety is welded in unity with care and concern for one another when generosity is exercised with a warm sense of personal involvement.\u201d \u2013 Bhikkhu Bodhi<\/h6>\n<hr>\n<h6>Keeping up American Buddhist Perspectives takes a *<em>yuge<\/em>* amount of time.

I have a BA and almost an MA in (Western) Philosophy from the University of Montana-Missoula, an MA in Buddhist Studies from Bristol University, UK, and I am currently working on a Ph.D. in Buddhist Ethics at the U of London. My main academic foci are early Buddhist ethics and Kant (odd combination, I know). I also study Western ethics, Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada, Comparative philosophy, and Environmental ethics. I also like photography, running, drinking wine, and eating peanut butter (often in that order).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/author\/justinwhitaker"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
