Well, colour me surprised.
Only six percent of America's scientists identify themselves as Republicans; fifty-five percent call themselves Democrats. By comparison, 23 percent of the overall public considers itself Republican, while 35 percent say they're Democrats.

The ideological discrepancies were similar. Nine percent of scientists said they were "conservative" while 52 percent described themselves as "liberal," and 14 percent "very liberal." The corresponding figures for the general public were 37, 20 and 5 percent.

Not surprising, republicans and science don't go so well together.
*Actually, I'd say it's because Democrats give more money to science >_> but whatev.

I think it probably has to do with money.

Liberals/democrats just love funding things with OPM... most science ventures are loving that funding.

Republicans don't like science because they believe that things like facts or any evidence contrary to what they themselves believe are just tools of the liberal media.
