by the numbers

I was browsing around the Facebook Application today. In the demographic breakdown, you can see how demographics are splitting up - so what percentage of Joe's support comes from men, but also how are Men dividing up their support between Joe and Billy. Here's what I thought was interesting.
Now, these numbers are only representative of the people who use the application to express support. Most are associated with the DSU, or are friends with a single candidate. I expect these people to have opinions that sometimes differ from those who have no association with the DSU.- Gault has a 10% lead in pure support, but if you look at the Eligible voter graph, it's 50-50 between her and Larkin (at the time of writing).
- Gault has the women's vote; Larkin has the men, though to a lesser extent.
- Larkin has the residence vote.
- The stupid application should have asked what campus students were on... I'm willing to bet Larkin is leading on Sexton.
- Boyle is leading by 10%, and in fact leads in most demographics.
- The majority of VAJ's support is coming from "Liberal" or "Very Liberal" - 75%, in fact. This is not surprising given her involved with the Dalhousie Young Liberals, or whatever they call themselves. The university-aged representatives of the party that decided to elect an academic to be their party leader. (insert slow-clap) Given that the majority of campus doesn't not belong to the Young Liberals, it will be interesting to see how she does.
- Boyle is still dominant with the male demographic
- Most people want to elect Mark Coffin.
- Those that do not are 100% female. Ex-girlfriends?
- Kris has a narrow lead over Krista... again, it would be interesting to see how much of his support is coming from Sexton and Larkin supporters.
- They split demographics almost equally. A major exception is relationship status, where 83% of those supporting Krista are single, compared to only 50% for Kris.
- Eric Snow leads the pack by a comfortable 20-point margin, with the other four splitting up the pie almost equally.
- ... but Fraser's support dwindles to a distant 5th if you consider only eligible voters.
- 50% of men and 50% of women support Eric Snow.
- Looks like Tremblay's Yes supporters will carry the day.
- The referendum looks to be about 75-25, which is low for an inside-the-DSU crowd.
