Integrating the Derivative

From a February 2007 Gallup poll (I constructed the table myself from their numbers):

Between now and the 2008 political conventions, there will be discussion about the qualifications of presidential candidates — their education, age, religion, race, and so on. If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be [ITEM A-J READ IN ORDER], would you vote for that person?

	Yes %	No %	No Answer %
A. Jewish	92	7	2
B. An atheist	45	53	3
C. Black	94	5	1
D. Catholic	95	4	1
E. A homosexual	55	43	2
F. A woman	88	11	1
G. Mormon	72	24	4
H. Hispanic	87	12	1
I. 72 years of age	57	42	1
J. Married for the third time	67	30	3

Awww, now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside…or not. In case you’re wondering, here’s how a few of the questions correspond with current presidential candidates:

• Mitt Romney (R) is a mormon.
• Bill Richardson (D) is hispanic.
• John McCain (R) will be 72 years old in 2008.
• Rudy Guliani (R) has been married three times.

Note: If the table above changes appearance it’s because I’m fiddling with the styles.
