This is my second diary for the day, so guys, let me know if you think it's worth abusing the system to do more of these in quick succession. Every so often someone does a demographic check here, which I think is useful, because while I think most of us sense that we are not exactly representative of the average voter, the demographic checks tend to make it obvious that we aren't.
However, because of the nature of the poll system, I'd have to run a few diaries in succession to do all the demographic checks that I'd like to do.
I've seen one on age done relatively recently which showed that (predictable) we skew young. I'm going to try to kill many birds with one stone on the following one, but I also want to do racial/ethnic and religious demo check as well.
Following is demo check #1.
