A new national survey from Public Policy Polling (D) finds that American partisanship can even extend to sports.

The poll finds that 32% of registered voters are rooting for the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl, to 22% cheering on the Colts. Democrats are for the Saints by 36%-21%, Republicans are split 26%-25% for the Colts, and independents are for the Saints by 33%-20%.

While this poll might seem unimportant, there is in fact a crucial message: Democrats still have the independent voters on something!
