A new Fox News poll has found that when Americans look for someone to share Valentine’s Day with, odds are they are not casting their eyes across the political aisle.
A majority of registered voters in the poll, 55 percent, said that when choosing someone to be their Valentine, it was important to find someone with the same political views. But for all the James Carvilles out there looking for their Mary Matalins, rest assured - just 28 percent called shared political views “very†important.
About 6 in 10 women, 59 percent, said it was important to them that their Valentine shared their political views, compared with 50 percent of men who said the same. And while Republicans and Democrats may differ in their political opinions, the partisans agree that their Valentine should not - 62 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of Democrats said they wanted their Valentine to share their vews. Fewer independents, 41 percent, agreed.
The poll was conducted nationwide by land-line and cellular telephone Feb. 4-6 among 1,010 registered voters and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
