rom that LAT poll of Florida of Ohio (here is the PDF with all the numbers):
Already Voted:
Florida: McCain 49%, Obama 45%, Don’t Know 6%
Ohio: Obama 57%, McCain 35%, Don’t Know 3%
That’s right: Almost 5% of Florida and Ohio voters that have already voted don’t know who they voted for.

How can you not know who you voted for? Is that the intoxicated vote?

Voters who attend religious services one to two times a month are supporting the Democratic nominee by 60%, up from 49% who supported Sen. John Kerry in 2004, based on a survey released Oct. 8 by the nonpartisan group Faith in Public Life.
“The fact that he’s getting 60% of those voters shows that there has been a movement overall in the last four years in terms of Democratic outreach with religious Americans,” said Amy Sullivan, whose book The Party Faithful examines Democrats’ outreach to religious voters.
“That might be related more to economic issues than anything else this year, but it does show that religious voters are willing to vote for Democrats.”
The survey also found evidence of a generational divide between younger and older evangelicals, including support by younger evangelicals for a more active government and less conservative views on same-sex marriage.
“They (evangelicals) are more concerned about peace and prosperity than they are about abortion or same-sex marriage,” said Michael Lindsay, associate professor of sociology at Rice University. “This is why things are different in 2008 than they were in 2004.”

I just wish there was a candidate that could take the values that all believers cared about and ran. But I guess Jesus has better things to do.

People who feel lonely or isolated are more likely to believe in God and the supernatural, according to a new study published this month. Lonely people try to create social connections by reaching out to old friends, making new ones, or as the study suggests, believing in a higher being.
“We found that inducing people to feel lonely made them more religious essentially,” said University of Chicago researcher Nicholas Epley, who led the study, according to LiveScience.com.

In other news, people who do research are found to not have a life more than those who don’t do research.
Seriously, how reliable is a poll? I use them too but how do you know only interviewing 1000 people in an entire country really is accurate? No stones, just wondering. If you are a poll taker, please explain to me how I can believe a poll is accurate.

My wife Cassandra likes the half-shaved look. I use a #1 cut on my Wahl razor. However my kids don’t like it. So, last night I shaved half my face and wanted to know which you folks like best.

About eight-in-ten Americans say that they have no doubt that God exists, that prayer is an important part of their lives, and that “we will all be called before God at the Judgment Day to answer for our sins.”
