A new poll reveals the majority of registered Republican voters believe that demonic possession is a real phenomenon.

The "Halloween-centric" poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling showed that 68 percent of Republican voters think it's possible to be possessed by demons.

Meanwhile, as news website AlterNet notes, only 48 percent of Republicans polled in an earlier survey conducted by the Pew Research Center survey said they believe in climate change.


I'm shocked. Also not surprised.
Are Republicans a dangerous cult?

Why even post this response? 87% of people already know that.

I'm not sure if this was a clever statement or a sad one.

When it comes to demons, however, it seems the Democrat-Republican rift is not quite so wide.

According to the Halloween poll results, 49 percent of Democrats also said they believe that its possible to be possessed by demons. Overall, only 35 percent of the 1,200 registered voters polled -- including Independent voters and others -- said that demon possession is an impossibility.

I guess those are the religious democrats.

One fake thing VS another, what to make of it. People believe in fairy tales.

Halloween Poll Results

Our new Halloween poll finds that 62% of voters have a favorable opinion of Halloween. 26% of voters say they’ll be dressing up for Halloween this year. More Democrats (33%) than Republicans (23%) say they’ll be donning costumes this year, but among those more Republicans (95%) than Democrats (80%) said they had decided on their costume at the time they were polled.

Chocolate bars were overwhelmingly the most favorite type of Halloween candy, with 62% of voters choosing them and 11% picking candy corn, 7% for fruit-flavored candies and 6% opting for candy apples. 36% of voters wish they could still go trick-or treating.

37% of voters believe in ghosts, and 26% say they’ve seen a ghost. By a 52-40 margin voters think it’s possible for a house to be haunted, and respondents are split 47-45 on whether they be willing to sleep in a “haunted house” with men saying they’d be willing to by a 56-38 margin but women declining 39-51. 29% of voters say zombies are the scariest monster, with vampires (15%) werewolves (12%) and “something else” (17%) all reaching double digits. Ghosts got 6%, mummies and witches 5% and Frankenstein 3%. If forced to turn into a monster 27% of voters would choose to be a vampire, 22% a witch, 12% a werewolf, 6% a zombie and 25% something else.

Voters either have very high or very low opinions of their ability to survive a zombie apocalypse – 27% say they’d survive less than a week but 32% say they’d survive more than a year with the rest somewhere in between.

36% of voters say black cats are good luck, 23% say bad luck, and 42% aren’t sure. Democrats say black cats are good luck by a 43-20 margin but Republicans are split 31-26.

45% of respondents said they enjoy horror movies, and responses were split among several horror movie franchises when asked which was the favorite, with Friday the 13 th , the Halloween movies, Nightmare on Elm Street, Night of the Living Dead and Paranormal Activity franchises all cracking double digits among horror fans.

Im fairly certain this post angered roughly 93% of readers.

The important thing besides knowing what people believe is to know why they believe what they believe. I believe that people believe what they believe because they have an emotional need to believe what they believe. I have come to see that the people I most agree with are people who do not have emotional needs they are unconscious of, people who know what they feel. And knowing what you feel isn't by any means as easy as what you might believe. Everything you see on the streets on Halloween are things that will come up out of your unconscious the minute you start to really feel what you feel. Horror is how we vicariously experience our inner state without knowing it.

Why oh why must I always look at these kinds of polls like a person slowing down to watch a tragic accident? Next time I'll look away. My eyes, they burn.

Maybe it's my phone but I can't find anything but what I posted on the PPP site. Since I trust you'll provide an honest answer. Can you find and post where here?

it's sad to see what the general public believes...

More democrats believe in stealing from those that have a little money to give to themselves so they can sit on their ass all day.
