Democrats are the party of bagels (34%) and croissants (32%) while Republicans prefer to eat donuts (35%).
Democrats like KFC better than Chick Fil A (39/18) while Republicans take Chick Fil A over KFC by a 48/29 spread.
Democrats are cool with vegans (a 48/22 favorability rating) while GOP voters have a negative opinion of them (31/41).
Democrats prefer regular soda (47/31) while Republicans prefer diet (42/34).
And while Republicans narrowly believe that Olive Garden constitutes 'a quality source of authentic ethnic food' (43/41), Democrats (41/44) think it does not.
its official; PD is a straight up DINO.
some other tidbits
Coke beats out Pepsi 43/35 in the soft drink wars, drawing support from both Republicans (47/33) and Democrats (44/37).
There's mixed news on the fast food burger front. Burger King wins best honors with 22% to 19% for Wendy's and 15% for McDonald's. McDonald's with 22% takes the dubious least favorite prize with 22% to 16% for Hardee's and 15% for both Burger King and Jack in the Box. But the news isn't all bad for McDonald's- in a hypothetical Presidential race Ronald McDonald would beat out the Burger King 36/22.
favorite pizza voting: Pizza Hut wins with 30% to 17% for Papa John's, 15% for Domino's, and 5% for Little Caesar's.
Americans narrowly prefer pancakes (33%) over french toast (30%) with waffles finishing well back at 22%.
Also theres some good info about how fat and ignorant we all are in the link if you like.

Republicans prefer diet coke, but Democrats drink regular? :psyduck

How can someone like bagels and croissants and not like the best bread of all, bread sticks? The poll says liberals like vegans, so shouldn't they like Olive Garden which is one of the best places to eat non-meat products? You couldn't get a fresher salad at Wendy's.
-
Didn't PD vote for Snyder as well? It's pretty clear where his loyalties lay.
-
Hey man, I have a thing for nerds
-
Preferring bagels and knowing that Olive Garden isn't real Italian food is probably because of democrat dominance in NYC. We love our bagels and local Italian places here.
-
how could anyone like Burger King
-
If I really was forced to, I'd choose BK over McDonalds or Taco Bell, honestly.

They have some of the best fries I've ever had

Isn't Carl's Jr the west coast version of Hardee's? If it is then I'm surprised to see so many people hate Hardee's 'cause I actually like Carl's Jr.

Does Mighty Taco extend down by you?
-
Not Mighty Taco, but there are authentic Mexican places run by real Mexicans.
-
They're all fucking terrible. Have some self respect, people.

You don't like Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich? smh

when I'm in an airport terminal and have to grab lunch and they only have Burger King, I'm like "oh, man, I don't REALLY need to eat lunch ... do I"
-
Only time I'll eat fastfood is if I'm on the thruway in the middle of bumblefuck, starved, and that's all that's on offer. When that happens, Borys' rankings apply.
-

Those are splits within the margin of error. Unsupported conclusion.
Also:
Q15 If the candidates for President were Ronald McDonald and the Burger King, who would you vote for?
Ronald McDonald 36%
The Burger King 22%
Not sure 42%
Now I know why they had to use robocalls. Nobody in a call centre could have kept a straight face when asking this question.

I don't know, I had one of the best fast food burgers I've ever had at the Burger King in the Las Vegas terminal. Not only was it damn good but it looked exactly like the pic on the menu. Seriously picture perfect. I still think about that thing from time to time.
That was back in '10 and I haven't been back in Vegas since but when I go down there again I'm stopping in there to see if that was just an anomaly or if it's the only place in the world that serves picture perfect fast food burgers.

I FUCKING LOVE BK breakfast. Y'all are whack.
Dems only like KFC over Chick-fil-a because its primarily in the South (aka repub country). Here in STL, we've only had CFA in a mall or two for maybe 10 years, and standalone restaurants have only popped up in the last few years. Had someone tell me today they ate it for the first time today. Plus, they hate the gays.
And :lol at repubs (or anyone) thinking Olive Garden is authentic Italian. I love it.
-
I make it a priority to eat at the closest Olive Garden whenever I'm in a different state. Definitely the best food I had in Chicago
-
Choosing KFC over CFA is like choosing mcd over 5 guys/innout. :yuck
-
yea chick-fil-a is objectively better than KFC, politics aside.
-
i would say kfc is the mcd's of chicken, but kfc is much worse than mcdonalds
-
KFC has some nice potatoes and gravy but that's it
-
KFC is probably the worst fast food chain out there. Chick-fil-A may have some shitty politics behind it but considering how most of you assholes own Apple products, I don't want to hear any sanctimonious bullshit.
-
A good croissant is godly.
-
Popeyes for the red beans n rice- taco bell > BK/McDs

Yes, on the west we have Carl's Jr. and it is EASILY the best fast food joint.
Also, I've always heard of the term "ethnic food", but I never understood what it meant. Someone 'splain plz.

Something other than steak, hamburgers, pizza and hotdogs is basically ethnic.

I've never seen a Carl's in Michigan
-
Getting a good croissant is near impossible in the states. :'(
-
For non-In N Out burgers, Carl's/Hardees has the best meat. BK claims to char broil their patties yet they still taste fried, but Carl's/Hardees really nearly burns theirs to a crisp and you can tell they were cooked over fire.

That's most likely an urban legend, based on what I can find. Also, he's dead.
