Reader Poll: “J.C. Penney stock has dropped dramatically the last six months. Is it directly related to repercussions from their overt pro-gay advocacy or simply because of ineffective business practices?”

Here’s the question we asked UFI readers:

“J.C. Penney stock has dropped dramatically the last six months.  Is it directly related to repercussions from their overt pro-gay advocacy or simply because of ineffective business practices?”

Here’s how readers responded:

51 Percent        Largely repercussions from gay advocacy

 8 percent          Ineffective business practices

39 Percent        Probably both

 2 percent          Have no Idea

This poll question, asked prior to Wednesday’s “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day,” yields some interesting results.  Based on the large turnout on Wednesday to support Chick-fil-A, it would appear that there are very large numbers of people who are willing to spend money to support traditional marriage.  Perhaps the flip side is that they would be unwilling to spend money to support a business who doesn’t share their values.

We would tend to agree that it is probably a combination of both poor business practices and not a small amount of negative repercussion from the business becoming involved in gay advocacy.
