After 199 votes in the BF2S poll ""Bush administration: awesome or evil", it looks like results - for American BF2Sers at least - are similar to recent stateside polls.
The latest Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll has 56% disapproving of "the job Bush is doing as president" and 36% approving of it. Our own poll showed that 63% of BF2Sers disapprove of the Bush administration, with 37% approving of it.
When we break down the numbers, we find that 52% of American BF2Sers disapprove of the Bush administration and 48% approve of it. Of the 66 non-American BF2S respondents, 85% disapproved of Bush, with nearly half of all non-American respondentsviewing the Bush administration as "evil".
We can thus reasonably hypothesize, based on this data, that the average American Battlefield 2 player tends to be more conservative-minded than the average American.
It is interesting to note also that the average non-American Battlefield 2 player would seem to be more liberal-minded than the average American (using the American definition of "liberal"). One might think this goes against conventional wisdom that people who sit around playing war against each other in cyberspace would tend to be relatively hawkish and conservative.
