Detailed RTE poll got some very similar breakdowns to the IT one

quote:

Among the 18-24 age group, the Yes vote is projected at 87.6%, while for 25-34 year olds it is 84.6%.

The Yes vote for 35-49 was 72.8% and 63.7% for 50-64. The 65+ age group was the only one not to vote in favour of repeal, according to the poll’s projections.

The regional breakdown shows that 79% of people in Dublin voted for repeal, with 67.2% in Leinster, 66.3% in Munster, and 62% in Connacht/Ulster.

The poll projects that the Yes vote in urban areas was 72.3% and 63.3% in rural areas.

If you break it down for people in the reproductive age bracket (i.e. the only ones who should have a fuckin opinion in the first place) that's easily 80%. Probably if you restricted it to women of reproductive age you'd be touching 90%, looking forward to the cross-tabs


e: and yes, I know men don't really have a reproductive age, but you know what I mean

Forgot to post the gender bit immediately above that line

A breakdown of the poll projects that 65.9% of men voted Yes, with 72.1% women voting in favour of repeal of the amendment, which provides for the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn.

Cant really link to anything specific, between the hateful eighth repeal, Tommy Robinson getting arrested and Harvey Weinstein getting arrested all in one day they are going bananas for various reasons and the site is even more chaotic than normal.

I'm getting my dose of meltdowns from the comment sections of the Independent.ie 's Facebook page, which range from "why are people cheering for the idea of killing babies" to the "exit polls said that Hillary was going to win and Brexit wasn't going to happen". I think I'll have a good night ahead of me.

[EDIT]: The above post just reminded me of my favourite crackpot theory, which was the guy on FB claiming that Soros was funding the Yes Campaign so he could wipe out Irish babies to further the Zionist takeover of the world...

I think it's about the Pope, which means that group of Nazi cosplayers is simultaneously pro- and anti- religious domination I guess? Best not to waste too much time on deciphering the irony-poisoned ramblings of hikikomori wastemen

There was a couple of polls that tracked relatively close to the exit polls we're seeing - but that was after eliminating like 20% "don't knows", and in the same sex marriage ref the don't knows broke decisively for the No camp leading to the actual results being well under the projected one.

Everyone was well hairy because the don't knows/unsures where still in the double digits like a week out from voting
