VOTING DADS: Gary J. Andres
...Men with children favored the president on the question of agreement on cultural direction by nearly 60 percentage points (Bush 77, Kerry 18), while men without kids slightly favored Mr. Kerry (Bush 37, Kerry 43). The pattern among women still strongly favors President Bush, but the differencesare smaller--a 25 percent advantage for the president among women with kids and a statistical tie among those without children.
Many analysts, including myself, assumed that the "values voters" popularized in this election were mothers with kids, concerned about the increasing moral relativism and cultural coarseness in the world around them. These data support that idea. Yet men with kids are even more divided and intense on the issue--a less-understood pattern.
