Curious about whether someone's a Democrat or a Republican -- but don't want to ask them about their political affiliation directly? Well, just ask them about if they prefer KFC of Chick-Fil-A. Apparently, that's one surefire way to find out.
A new survey released this week by Public Policy Polling insists that Democrats and Republicans definitely have different food preferences. For example: Democrats like KFC better than Chick-Fil-A (39/18) while Republicans take Chick-Fil-A over KFC (48/29).
What else?
According to the study:
- Democrats are cool with vegans (a 48/22 favorability rating) while GOP voters have a negative opinion of them (31/41).
- Democrats prefer regular soda (47/31) while Republicans prefer diet (42/34).
- Democrats are the party of bagels (34%) and croissants (32%) while Republicans prefer to eat donuts (35%).
And strangely enough -- Republicans are more likely to believe that Olive Garden constitutes "a quality source of authentic ethnic food" (43/41), while Democrats (41/44) think it doesn't. (We can't help but to ask, incredulously: Really? What authentic ethnic food is this, exactly?)
It seems that both parties can agree on a few things, though: dinner is their favorite meal of the day. What else do they agree on? Things like fast food (both parties agree it's awful for you) and (gasp) Coke over Pepsi.
