| Introduction | Hi my name is Jessy, Im taking Tx state and local Government, and that is the reason behind this blog. I took a survey to see what my political ideology was, and I found out that I'm in the upbeat category; which is more on the conservative republican side of government opinion. I'm really not that into politics, even though I know I should be active in politics. The government is ran by the voters, but if you don't vote, you don't get heard. I believe if you don't vote, then don't b*tch about government. I hope to gain knowledge and information about politics, both on the national and local level. |
| Interests | Political Ideology Upbeat Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you resemble survey respondents within the Upbeat typology group. Upbeats represent 11 percent of the American public, and 13 percent of registered voters. Basic Description Upbeats express positive views about the economy, government and society. Satisfied with their own financial situation and the direction the nation is heading, these voters support George W. Bush’s leadership in economic matters more than on social or foreign policy issues. Combining highly favorable views of government with equally positive views of business and the marketplace, Upbeats believe that success is in people’s own hands, and that businesses make a positive contribution to society. This group also has a very favorable view of immigrants. Defining Values Very favorable views of government performance and responsiveness defines the group, along with similarly positive outlook on the role of business in society. While most support the war in Iraq, Upbeats have mixed views on foreign policy – but most favor preemptive military action against countries that threaten the U.S. Religious, but decidedly moderate in views about social and cultural issues. Who They Are Relatively young (26% are under 30) and well-educated, Upbeats are the second wealthiest group after Enterprisers (39% have household incomes of $75,000 or more). The highest proportion of Catholics (30%) and white mainline Protestants (28%) of all groups, although fewer than half (46%) attend church weekly. Mostly white (87%), suburban, and married, they are evenly split between men and women. Lifestyle Notes High rate of stock ownership (42%, 2nd after Enterprisers). 2004 Election Bush 63%, Kerry 14%. Party ID 56% Independent/No Preference, 39% Republican, 5% Democrat (73% Rep/LeanRep) Media Use Upbeats are second only to Liberals in citing the internet as their main news source |
