The Mallory Crosstabs

Here are some of the interesting crosstabs from the SurveyUSA poll about how Cincinnati residents view Mayor Mark Mallory and their city.

The older residents are, they more they like him:

-- Among 18-to-34 year olds, his approval rating was 50 percent; among those 55 and older, it was 69 percent;

-- Approval rating among blacks: 75 percent. Among whites, 51 percent.

-- But between those who considered themselves conservative, moderate, or liberal, there was almost no difference.

Younger residents are also more likely to believe the city is on the wrong track, and they feel less safe than their older counterparts.

And who do you explain this? Women feel safer than men.

The crosstabs show 45 percent of women say they feel safe in their neighborhood, but only 40 percent of men do.

Of course, in a 500-sample poll, the subgroups have much, much larger margins of error than the poll as a whole (which had a margin of error of 4.4 percent.)
