*Shock* poll finding o' the day
From across the channel, naturellement.
The nice people at IFOP have been polling French farmers as to their political leanings. Go on, have a guess which way they swing. Or at least how they swung in 2007:
Being a helpful sort of chap I have ringed the far left's candidates in red. So, with the exception of the Asterix-moustached Bove - admittedly a farmer, of sorts - and the Green's Voynet, all of the far left fared far worse with the fermiers than with the French overall. Royal's showing was dismal - 10% of famers compared to a quarter of the overall population. As for the second round, that went 73% Sarko, 27% Sego. The French went 53/47.
Jaws up from the floor yet?
Dairy farmers were wonderfully sound - 82% / 18% for Sarko. However, the laurels go to farmers with 100 hectares or more - 88/12. Meanwhile, back at the present day, Sarko attracts the support of 56% of farmers compared to 39% of Gauls overall. Elsewhere, 38% want the death penalty back, compared to 40% overall
