| | Comments (0)

John McCain has a statistically significant lead over Barack Obama ... among pet owners, according to an AP-Yahoo poll conducted June 13-23. And if you narrow it down to dog owners, McCain looks even better.

Yes, it has come to this.

McCain is favored by pet owners by a 42 percent to 37 percent margin (the margin of error is 2.3 points). Dog owners back McCain 43 percent to 34 percent.

McCain has an English springer spaniel (Sam), a mutt (Coco), two turtles (Cuff and Link), a black and white cat (Oreo), a ferret, three parakeets and he also keeps saltwater fish.

Obama has nada.

The pet industry estimates that 63 percent of American households have a pet.

As for those who don't, they favor Obama 48 percent to 34 percent.
