The results of Disaboom's latest survey are now out. CNNMoney reports:
91 percent of people with disabilities think
they receive less attention than other minority groups from the
presidential candidates, according to a poll recently conducted by Disaboom
(OTCBB: DSBO) (www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people
with disabilities. With the current conventions and upcoming debates,
people with disabilities are looking to the presidential candidates to
present opinions, insights and solutions about topics that affect them, the
largest minority group in America.
A recent Kelton Research study, commissioned by Disaboom, also indicated
that one in four Americans believe that people with disabilities receive
less support from the presidential candidates.
"This community is made up of 54 million Americans and can significantly
impact the popular vote. And still, most members of our community feel
that they receive little attention from the presidential candidates and
from the political system as a whole," said Dr. Glen House, founder of
Disaboom and a quadriplegic himself. "Our national research indicates that
our unheard voice is eager to be heard on topics such as healthcare,
accessibility, veterans' issues and unemployment."
This announcement follows Disaboom's recent findings that 57 percent of
people with disabilities support Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential
election.
...The Disaboom poll was conducted by disaboom.com using Vizu.com polling
technology between July 31, 2008 and August 22, 2008 using a survey posted
at http://www.disaboom.com/Community/Organizations/Polls. Poll results are
based on the responses of 604 respondents. Poll technology ensured that
each respondent was limited to voting once.
