There's nothing like the nation's greatest sporting event - the Super Bowl - to bring people together, right? Well according to the results of a new Public Policy Polling survey, the Super Bowl has Americans split down party lines, with Democrats heavily backing the Saints and Republicans favoring the Colts.
32 percent of voters favor the New Orleans Saints, and 22 percent think the Indianapolis Colts have what it takes to win. But interestingly, Democrats strongly favor the Saints, 36 percent to 21 percent, while Republicans only just slightly prefer the Colts, 26 percent to 25 percent.
A majority of the 584 people surveyed - 46 percent - don't care who wins.
