The polling firm of Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas conducted a study for Washington College asking survey respondents, in a hypothetical match-up Presidential race between George W. Bush and George Washington, who would you vote for?
The fact that this survey is being done is humorous enough, but the results kind of blew my mind. In an amazing display of party loyalty, 62% of Republicans said they would vote for George W. Bush. But never fear, George Washington would still win in a walk, with close to 60% of the vote, Democrats and Independents overwhelming supporting the First President. Of course, Washington never had to campaign in modern times and the electoral college may not favor the First president by such a wide margin.
The survey covers a lot of different topics about the First president, including some troubling findings that many young Americans are sorely lacking in basic knowledge of the colonial icon. Check out the press release, which has links to the poll results, at the link below.
