20. Money is the greatest motivator for many Americans
Wed Jun 6, 2012, 10:55 AM
Jun 2012

I don't know the statistics, but maybe a large amount of these 36% are wealthy. They may live in a state where gay marriage is already legal, so their highest priority may be taxes. Romney is promising to keep the Bush tax cuts around and lower taxes for the upper-class.

On the other end of the spectrum, I know a poor woman who is very religious and hates homosexuals. However, she supports Obama because her financial situation is her top issue. She hates that President Obama supports gay marriage, but there are other things that are more important to her.

If you dissect statistics enough, you will find all kinds of stuff that makes you scratch your head.
