Voting Patterns for Premium Cable, Netflix, Hulu, AMC, etc. watchers vs. Only Network TV Watchers

[Yavin4]

I would like to know the voting patterns for people who watch Premium Cable or Netflix or Hulu or AMC, etc. versus people who primarily only watch network TV like CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, and local broadcasts.

1. Well, yes. Hard to imagine "True Detective" viewers having the same world view as a "Duck Dynasty"

...watchers.

Except I've just named cable shows in both instances! (One "premium," one not. Hmm....)

2. the most significant difference about sanders supporters is how little cable news

they watch.

A new study on the media habits of voters found that Bernie Sanders supporters are some of the least likely among candidates' supporters to watch cable TV in general, and cable news in particular.

About 85 percent of those who identified at Sanders supporters in the Katz Media/Nielsen Scarborough Research Panel study said they watched cable TV in general (both entertainment and news channels), compared with 87 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters. For Marco Rubio, 92 percent of his supporters cited cable television — the highest among decided voters — whereas 89 percent of Donald Trump supporters used cable. Only 32 percent of Sanders supporters said they watch any of the cable news channels. Rubio supporters were most likely to watch cable news with 59 percent saying they do so.

Trump and Rubio supporters use the Internet more than other sources of media, with 92 percent of Trump supporters and 97 percent of Rubio supporters using the Internet. Ted Cruz had 96 percent of his supporters using the Web while undecided voters were at 93 percent.

3. There are still places where there is no cable, no broadband INet, no NetFlix except DVD by USPS.

I happen to live in one of those areas. So what happened to Barack Obama's rural Internet initiative? He campaigned on it in 2008. Still no go here.

But at least we finally have cell towers here, or there would be nothing but dialup. Now, if my downloads didn't have limits, I'd be cool.

I get my Rachel Maddow via audio only podcast, the only program MSNBC does such.

I would pay good bucks to be able to receive Turner Classic Movies.
