For the most part its rude with the exception of a few close friends. I know when my best friend gets her period, when she goes to the mikva, when she's in a bad mood and when she's in a fight with her husband. With someone like that I can ask who did you vote for. Otherwise it's rude.


As a side note, it's generally more acceptable to discuss those issues than you who voted for. Who you voted for is personal. Even when someone is very vocal about who they support, asking who they voted for is improper. It's inappropriate to ask anyone who they voted for.. that includes immediately family and best friends.

Um seriously? Fights with her husband is less personal than who she voted for?
I think this is (sub)cultural.

Perhaps people's reaction to the answer can be rude, but I don't find the question rude at all.

I think it's rather inappropriate than rude.

I don't think it's rude honestly. But I live in Israel where it is perfectly acceptable and everyone talks about who they are voting for. If you don't want to say, dont share and change the subject.

Or say what I did when asked by an Israeli co worker who I voted for-- "and what's your bra size?'

Interesting thread. And responses. I would never have known that this is a rude or personal question to ask.
I totally disagree, but I see I'm outnumbered.
I guess it's good I'm reading this so I know to refrain from asking peoplewho they voted for.

Can someone explain why this question is so personal/rude/inappropriate?
Would you also find it rude if someone asks what party you belong to? Or any other political question.

I do think it's rude to ask directly, but it's ok if you're discussing the candidates and naturally you each volunteer to say who you're voting for as part of the discussion without being asked. It is also rude to ask someone directly which political party they belong to. Politics is one of those touchy personal topics that people steer clear of in certain settings (religion is another one).

She got the point and was quite shocked that I felt that being asked who I voted for was on par with such a personal question shock shock
