UD Remains a Democratic Campus

According to data released today from the Blue Hen Poll, 2/3 of UD students identify themselves as Democrats. Additionally, of the 82.5% of UD students who voted in the 2008 presidential election, over 3/4 (76.9%) voted for Barack Obama.

The BHP was conducted by Dr. David C. Wilson who formerly worked for the Gallup Poll. The poll has 95% confidence and samples 2,500 UD students.
