The Associated Press – Yahoo News Poll discovered that pet owners slightly favor McCain (42%) over Obama (37%) and those who sided with McCain were mainly dog owners. Pet owners may have a higher preference for McCain partially because they portray him too as an animal lover. He has a dog Ginger, as well as a varied assortment of animals: Sam the English springer spaniel, Coco the mutt, turtles Cuff and Link, Oreo the black-and-white cat, a ferret, three parakeets and saltwater fish.
The full segmentation of the results are as follows:
- All pet owners: McCain, 42%; Obama 37%; Nader, 3%; other, 3%; undecided, 14%. Margin of error, plus or minus 2.9 points.
- Do not own a pet: Obama, 48%; McCain, 34%; Nader, 3%; other, 3%; undecided, 12%. Margin of error, 4.1 points.
- Dog owners: McCain, 43%; Obama, 34%; Nader, 3%; other, 3%, undecided, 12%. Margin of error, 3.6 points.
- Cat owners: McCain, 41%; Obama, 38%; Nader, 3%; other, 4%; undecided, 14%. Margin of error 3.9 points.
