As an xbox live user, I can tell you that the majority of players are against fags, queers, homos, your mother, your sister, niggers, spics, mexicans, aussies, euros, canadians ....
Don't forget Jews! They hey them, too. In fact, I'm surprised the political parties most interested in demographic data on XBox Live users aren't all white supremacist movements or Christian fundamentalists.
While I don't like politics on my Xbox Live dashboard, I don't think Microsoft is bringing politics into Live for political reasons. I think it's just a natural progression of Live becoming an entertainment hub. And politics today, sadly, is entertainment. Live now can host a myriad of apps that show you movies, tv shows - so why not bring in politics? They're doing everything to keep the eyeballs glued and keep the benjamins coming too.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this basically say Microsoft polled a bunch of people who use xbox live and asked what their political views were? I don't get the "Microsoft is reading your political views from your live account and giving it to everyone" line.
Thanks MS, for jacking up the cost of XBox Live and then selling your own subscription base to advertisers. If I needed more of that, I'd go back to Bank of America.
MS being generally a scummy company doesn't help...they recently made arbitration binding, and make it difficult-to-impossible to cancel online.
The service itself is pretty solid though.

So the real question is how are 40% of them undecided? They sound like the perfect conservatives.
