    I have no idea but I bet all of them who do vote for Democrats though which is why they are so hip for free cash to everyone.. not "caring". Nancy Pelosi could probably house a few homeless people at her palatial mansion in Pacific Heights just like Obama could write a few Executive Orders with his pen... and yet NOTHING. That's because promises gets more votes than actual results... if those Democrat voters who need the freebies got what they wanted, they would no longer need Democrats! That's why Democrats can only PROMISE blacks "equality" since after they were forced to free them when they used to be their slaves!

    Pretty low. Their on welfare for a reason. Lazy.

    Thats the only drawback to the Dem scheme. They have to pay of many times the number of votes they actually get from these people. Otherwise the Party wud have achieved a 51% majority voting bloc and the country wud have been finished long ago.

    I do not think anyone knows but there is data on voting and income and this tells us that people with low incomes people are less likely to vote than people with middle class incomes. But even in presidential years only about half of the people who can vote, do and it is much less in other elections

    American voters who have benefited from a major entitlement program - Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment benefits and food stamps - Democrats (60%) and Republicans (52%) [conservatives (57%), liberals (53%)].

    There aren't statistics to tell one way or another. LOL Apathetic voters tend not to vote unless their benefits are threatened. LOL

    It depends upon the van and what free goodies they have inside it to drive them to the polls.

    My guess would be about 350%.
