In one poll, at least.  He's way ahead -- with a commanding lead -- in one key Democratic voting bloc.  From the XBiz Newswire:

LOS ANGELES — The adult entertainment industry overwhelmingly favors re-electing Barack Obama to a second term as president, according to the results of a new industry poll conducted by media organization XBIZ.

In spite of being in an era of declining industry revenues due to the glut of free content available online and rampant piracy, the majority of adult insiders side with the Democratic incumbent Obama over the Republican candidate Mitt Romney as the 2012 presidential election on Nov. 6 inches closer. The results are based on responses from members of XBIZ.net, the adult entertainment industry’s top social network.

XBIZ asked industry members: “Which candidate would you like elected U.S. president?”

Of the 339 respondents, 68% say Obama, while only 13% favor Romney. Another 14% would like to see “someone else” in the White House, while 5% responded “I don’t care.”

So there's that.

Don't worry, Rob. I'm sure Romney will find some way to pull it out.

There's a joke in there about stimulus money but the Code of Conduct won't let me make it.

Looks like Obama's big tent includes everyone from Big Bird to Big [CoC Violation] and Huge [CoC Violation]s  

Talk about strange bedfellows.

That's the best I can do without putting my membership in jeopardy (and, no, that is NOT a pun).

Anyway, I'm kind of curious to hear from that 13% who support Romney.

Rob, what were you thinking? You produce sitcoms! Of all people you should know an innocent comment isn't even possible under this topic.

Oh well, I'm off to watch It's Always Sunny.

This pollster was inspired.  Getting an accurate read on the porn industry is probably a lot easier than the public in general.

They have a lot of ...umm... down-time.

Ah, well. It's one demographic I'm guessing Romney's okay losing to "someone else."

Makes sense. The goal of this industry is to see everyone get [expletive]ed, so a vote for Teh Wun is in line with that.

Don't we need a headline contest for this?

My question is, how long?  That is, how long has Rob subscribed to "XBIZ.net, the adult entertainment industry’s top social network"?  And is the monthly cost more than a grande latte at the flagship Starbucks?  Enquiring minds want to know.

So much more fun if it were on member feed.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. But I am glad Rob's mind is stimulated somewhat instead of lying in bed feeling depress.

Proof that the XXX entertainers have the same preferences as other Hollywood entertainers.

Wouldn't Gary Johnson have been a more appropriate choice?

This is not the surge you were looking for. ;)
