Are pets politically pleasing?
A new AP-Yahoo poll found pet owners favor the candidate who has pets of his own.
The poll shows that pet owners prefer McCain to Obama, 42 to 37 percent. McCain who owns two dogs, two turtles, a cat, a ferret, three parakeets and many saltwater fish. McCain was especially favored by canine folks. Non-pet owners favor Obama to McCain, 48 to 34 pcent. He has no pets.
Since many of us treat our dogs like part of the family, this is not that surprising. We are known to feed them our food, talk to them and let them sleep in our beds, so it seems natural we might identify with a candidate who shares our love for pets.
The election may very well be going to the dogs.
