This morning, the Washington City Paper (in association with The Kojo Nnamdi Show) released what they are dubbing the “The Coolest Political Poll D.C.’s Ever Seen.” It’s hard to argue that claim. Sure, there’s a lot of the stock mayoral polling conclusions in the numbers: young, white transplants who think that the city has gotten better over the last four years tend to skew Fenty; older, more entrenched residents who are aching for a change go for Gray. But kudos to the City Paper and WAMU for asking Washingtonians the real questions. You know, like whether people who have spent more than $25 at a restaurant in the last thirty days utilized a city swimming pool this summer. (Turns out it’s about half and half.)

I thought I’d pick through the data and find some results of the quality of life questions that struck me as interesting. I came up with five, though I highly encourage everyone to go and play with the data yourself if you’ve got a spare minute (or thirty).

1) Let’s start with the most important one of the bunch. (It is Dallas Week.) There wasn’t a single person who identified themselves as a Cowboys fan in the poll — among several Dallas fans, it should be noted — who believes Marion Barry should still be in jail. (There’s got to be a Michael Irvin joke in there somewhere, right?)

Four more, after the jump.
