Hi, this is a brief political survey (13 questions long) about the recent US presidential election, for those interested. I want to learn a little more about those who voted:

This survey is strictly voluntary, you may choose to complete it at your discretion. Your personal identity will not be revealed or questioned in any way. Information gathered will be stored securely and used for research purposes only. By clicking the link, you accept all risks and benefits of completing the questionnaire. Thank you for your participation.

(btw, this is not spam, I'm doing independent research).

mods, let me know if there are any issues with me doing this. if you have any questions/comments, just let me know.
 
Considering the recent phishing involving Google Docs and this person has spammed every political forum out there, I'll pass.
 
yes, I've heard about the phishing. seriously, did they have to do that while I'm trying to gather info?

to my understanding, the phishing is mostly in email, and asks you to give permissions to the worm. there is NO such permission requests on my forms, it's clean. I'm using google docs because it's useful, and because surveymonkey wants me to pay for a description.

it's not spam if it's just one thread per community. yes, I've casted a wide net for this, but that's what you want to do for research, especially a topic like the national election in which opinions are so divided. if I ask only a small number of people, it won't be accurate.

fixed, typing too quickly.
 
pardon me, I've been busy. Here are some things I've learned:

Hillary voters were overrepresented in my results, with a slight overall majority (53%). third party voters were also overrepresented, to a lesser extent (they took up about 1/4 of the total, with Trump voters being slightly under 1/4).

as expected, Trump voters were very anti-establishment, while Hillary voters were for the political establishment. in particular, Trump voters tended to strongly agree or disagree, while Hillary voters clustered around moderate agree/disagree. There was little overlap between Trump and Hillary voters, except for the issue of putting American nationals first -- but even there, Trump voters strongly agreed as opposed to a moderate agree from Hillary voters. On all other issues, they were polarized.

There was very little overlap between Trump and Hillary voters. Trump in particular stood apart from everyone else. This was also somewhat true of Hillary, the main exception being Jill Stein (who may have siphoned off some of her votes).
Third Party voters had significant overlap with each other. they are mainly distinguished by avoidance of the two mainstream candidates (except for Hillary/Stein). Their views on the political establishment fell in the middle between the Trump and Hillary camps.

Education, Race, and Gender were NOT found to be significant, in spite of assumptions I've seen to the contrary. in fact, urban voters tended to be more anti-establishment than rural/suburban voters.

Christian Evangelicals were far more anti-establishment than everyone else. Protestants shared this to a lesser extent. everyone else was average and undistinguishable.

Most respondents were caucasian, male, suburban, and non-religious, which is probably an artifact from sampling online. education had a normal distribution.
