"Americans over 30 and those over 65 love Paul," said John Zogby. "It must be the crazy love songs and Yesterday."

Paul is also the favorite among Woodstockers (31%) and Nikes (27%), while First Globals (19%) prefer John.
Democrats (25%) are far more likely than Republicans (6%) and independents (15%) to say John is their favorite Beatle, while moderates (32%) are far more likely to prefer Paul. Liberals (14%) are more than twice as likely as moderates (7%) and conservatives (9%) to pick George as their favorite.
