I don't know how surprising that statement is, but a new poll out gives some quantitative weight to the statement
* iPhone users are 53% Democratic, 25% Republican, and 22% Independent
* BlackBerry users are 46% Democratic, 40% Republican, and 14% independent.
*** *** ***
* iPhone owners favor Jerry Brown by a wide margin (57% Brown - 31% Whitman, 12% undecided);
* Blackberry users prefer Meg Whitman for Governor by a narrower margin (38% Brown - 47% Whitman, 15% undecided);
The poll also gives some totally unsurprising data about the use of Facebook among voters going down in a straight line from 18 and up. But, there was some really interesting data about who is winning the social media war. Right now Jerry Brown is at 10%, Whitman at 9%, and Schwarzenegger and Newsom are at 8.
The poll is in support of a new organization, CALinnovates.org, which aims to move the discussion forward on tech policy.
By the way, if I were Jerry Brown and saw that Whitman was up 9 points among a demographic that is a 46-40 Dem split, I'd be pretty worried right about now. But, clearly, I'm not Jerry Brown. |
