American Phobias


I depart from my normal posting about politics and economics just because I found this little poll interesting -- and I thought you might also. The info is from a YouGov Poll taken between March 21st and 24th of about 1,000 nationwide adults. We all have phobias, and I must admit a couple of mine are on this list. How about you? Are any of your own phobias listed?

    My fear of spiders is up there! Which ones of yours are there, Ted?

      The first two bother me (snakes and heights).

    My greatest phobia is an ALL REPUBLICAN CONGRESS (and being stuck in a small confined space with a Tea Partier)!

      Those are beyond phobia, GB. Those are unabashed nightmares!

    So 'clowns' only spook 13% of the population. Now I know how the Dems manage to get elected!

    Vertigo and claustrophobia are my big fears, er, apart from socialists, of course! Not too keen on crowds, either.

      Nice try, DD. But you have to look no further than the GOP ticket to see a vast array of clowns (and they are extremely frightening).

    Well, I agree, they have their fair share.
