Holy shit. This is fucking terrible.

On our New York poll we found pretty much the same stuff on public opinion about the mosque that everyone else has- only 32% of voters support building it to 55% opposed. But at the same time 59% of voters think the developer has the right to build it to only 30% who disagree on that front.

We took it a step further though and that’s where the numbers get interesting. We asked, using the exact same verbiage as the mosque question, whether voters would support building a strip club two blocks from Ground Zero. The overall numbers came out roughly the same as for the mosque- 28% in support and 54% opposed. But a look inside the crosstabs finds a shocking disparity when it comes to who supports the mosque and who supports the strip club.

Of course, we already know that the “Ground Zero mosque” is neither a mosque nor at Ground Zero, but that’s still what they call it.  Now just wait to hear what the “family values” party thinks, you know, the party of the “moral majority” (which is neither) and the “religious right” (which is also neither).

Just 4% of Republican voters support building the Ground Zero mosque. But 21% say they would support a Ground Zero strip club! Now everything that’s happened at the RNC this year makes sense…just supporting the values of the base.

Democrats narrowly support the mosque but oppose the strip club, independents oppose both the mosque and the strip club.

That’s right: our Republican voters, the ones who claim to champion family values, the ones who try to lock up the Christian vote, would give more support to a strip club — you know, the kind of place that promotes adultery, at least, the way Jesus defines it — than to a place for community and worship.

In other words, it’s better to sin than to praise God.
