And speaking of God, Rudy Giuliani seems to be one—70 percent of the Republicans have a favorable opinion of him (then again, 57 percent of New Yorkers do, too), which, amazingly, puts him in a statistical dead heat with George W. (again, among Republicans). In fact, Rudy would trounce Arnold Schwarzenegger if they ran against each other for the Republican presidential nomination (that is, if foreign-born Arnold could actually qualify), 69 percent to 18 percent, a ratio that’s eerily echoed among New Yorkers (63 percent versus 16 percent). (And the 9/11 effect that so clearly buoyed Rudy benefited us all: 71 percent of Republican-primary voters said the World Trade Center attacks strengthened their bond with New Yorkers.)

Meanwhile, if Hillary-hating is a religion among many conservatives, perhaps that theological strain is fading: Remarkably, fully one-quarter of Republicans give her a favorable rating (versus 73 percent of New Yorkers), which makes her exactly as popular among Republicans as her cuddly, omnipresent husband. Hillary’s approval ratings used to be far below Bill’s, which suggests that even Republicans (a quarter of them, at least) are coming to terms with her rising stature as a national political force.

What is your opinion of

What do we really agree on? For one thing, TV. Republicans and New Yorkers both say that cop shows, specifically NYPD Blue and Law & Order, most accurately depict our city (thanks for not saying Friends). And, perhaps surprisingly, when asked to state what percentage of New Yorkers are Jewish, black, or gay, the Republican and New Yorker guesses (25 percent Jewish, 36 percent black, and 18 percent gay, say the Republicans; 29 percent, 38 percent, and 24 percent, say New Yorkers) were roughly even, with both sides overshooting the mark (the actual percentages are 12 percent Jewish, 26 percent black, and 5–9 percent gay).

Oh, and for those Republican-primary voters—63 percent—who think the New York Times is a liberal rag, well, 49 percent of New Yorkers agree with you (David Brooks notwithstanding).

Among the greatest disparities between Them and Us is how brilliant they think we are: Only 29 percent of the Republicans think New Yorkers are more creative than average Americans, versus 74 percent of New Yorkers. Even worse, Republicans are dismissive of our importance, with 63 percent calling D.C.—D.C.!—the most powerful city in the country.

In the end, of course, the divide is greatest when it comes to questions of leadership. Seventy-three percent of Republicans have a favorable opinion of George W. Bush, versus just 28 percent of New Yorkers.

Clearly, when it comes to the most crucial issues, we can’t all just get along.
