3. 8 of the top 10 pornography consuming states gave their electoral votes to John McCain in last year's presidential election – Florida and Hawaii were the exceptions. While six out of the lowest 10 favored Barack Obama.
4. Church-goers bought less online porn on Sundays 
5. Residents of 27 states that passed laws banning gay marriages boasted 11% more porn subscribers than states that don't explicitly restrict gay marriage
The second link list a few more stats. the link given to the actually study findings are in PDF format.

This is not surprising at all. It's rather easy to see through the deceptive "stats".
Take #5. for example. It is no surprise that California is big into porn. Further, it would be no surprise that the conservatives and families would support a law in the same state to outlaw Sodomite marriages. This study suggests,
but does nothing to prove the same people who want to restrict porn and perversion are also higher consumers of the same.
