Americans Prefer A Black President To An Athiest

February 21st, 2007 | by christine |

Only 94% are ok with a black President, and I think that number should be higher, but it’s still more than twice as many who would be ok with an atheist. That number should be higher too …

According to a Gallup Poll

Asked if they’d be willing to vote for a “generally well-qualified” candidate with the following characteristics, here’s how the tally went in the Feb. 9- 11 poll.

Black 94%
Jewish 92%
A woman 88%
Hispanic 87%
Mormon 72%
Married for third time 67%
72 years of age 57%
A homosexual 55%
An atheist 45%

Conservatives express more misgivings about candidates from all of the above categories — except the age question, where they are more disapproving of voting for someone 72 or over.

Crazy how Americans sort people.
