Super Bowl divide: Dems for Saints; Republicans like Colts
The nation’s political polarization reaches into the Super Bowl.
A new Public Policy Polling national survey shows that 32 percent of voters back the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Feb. 7 while 22 percent support the Indianapolis Colts.
Democrats overwhelming back the Saints, 36-21 percent. Republicans narrowly go for the Colts, 26-25 percent. Independents back the Saints, 33-20 percent.
“There may not be the same kind of partisan gap on the Super Bowl that there is for Barack Obama’s approval ratings but even when it comes to football there are two Americas,” Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, based in Raleigh, N.C., said in a press release.
“You’re much more likely to be rooting for the Saints this weekend if you’re a Democrat.”
Public Policy Polling PPP surveyed 584 registered voters from January 29-31. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percent.

I rooted for the Colts because Indy is less than 2 hours away and is AFC but as a conservative, I rooted against the Saints because New Orleans/Katrina woe is us thing is old. It is a perfect example of how big government always fails to accomplish anything of substance.

This isnt much of a supprise, remebering how Katrina was handled. Seems GOD likes the Saints too.
