Election Stats: Self-Employed vs. Non-Profit Workers

Topics:

Where do you work everyday? Who signs your paycheck? And, how do you plan to vote in the presidential election? In our continued investigation of where Romney and Obama are getting their support, we compared two different types of workers: those who work for themselves versus those who work at non-profits. Can you guess which candidate each of these groups prefers?

Those who work for themselves, hustling for gigs and taking the risk to be in our their own boss, tend to vote for Mitt Romney (54% / 42%). In a more dramatic preference, those employed at non-profits, working hard for a cause rather than a positive balance sheet, prefer Obama (67% / 31%).
