Loveland, Colorado, August 22, 2008 -The world’s first poll of Apple iPhone users revealed an Obama-heavy bias as hundreds of people sought to make their opinion known via iVote Mobile, a free application developed by InfoMedia Inc. now available in the iTunes App Store for Apple iPhone and iTouch owners.

Asked “Who would you vote for in the US Presidental Election,” users were able to choose from Barack Obama, John McCain, Bob Barr and Ralph Nadar.

With thousands of users downloading and using the iVote Mobile polling and social networking application on the first day of its release, Obama has a decisive lead over McCain.

Using the revolutionary location awareness system built into the iPhone, iVote Mobile is able to relate poll data and subsequent discussions to geographic location on a global, national, regional and local basis. When taking the entire world’s opinion into consideration, iVote users put Obama ahead by 42 points. And while Oklahoma users still have McCain with a slight majority, swing states such as Colorado and Florida remain very close.

That's not that surprising to me. People in the IT profession tend to lean more Democratic than Republican and I would bet that a large portion of iPhone owners are IT people.

yeah that sounds pretty logical to me.....I'll get some in depth demographic data on the votes when I get into the office and post it....the swing states are amazingly close, last time I check Florida was dead even 36% for MCain and Obama.

I stopped over at the Washington Dulles airport last week, and there's a couple of shops selling Obama and McCain stuff. I asked the clerks which sells more. They said 10 to one. Obama.

!!! :D !!!

You have to wonder if this manifests itself in national polls. Young people are much more likely to only have cell phones. most phone banks do not call cell phones. So is there a big chunk of Obama Supporters not getting polled?

I do not have a landlines myself I have a cell and do not see a reason for a land phone.
