I often hear people (both regulars to CU and non-regulars alike) cite that the Columbus Underground readership has a strong left-leaning Democratic following, but for anyone who carefully follows various conversations it's pretty apparent that most opinionated political contributors have a more diverse and non-traditional stance than the regular two-party system.
This isn't something we ask in our annual study on readership demographics, as our potential advertisers never really care about the political stance of our readership... but I thought it might be interesting to start up an anonymous poll to see how everyone here self-identifies when it comes to political party alignments.
I wouldn't bee too surprised to see a majority of the readership identify as democrats, as CU is a very region-specific website, and Franklin County has a larger number of registered Democrats than Republicans... but I'm guessing that we've actually got a larger number of third-party, independent, and moderate thinkers here who just happen to lean more towards the left than the right when it comes to the types of issues discussed on CU on a regular basis.
Thoughts?
