There are a few surveys out that seem to show Academics are far more likely to vote Democratic than Republican.
I’ve read a lot of commentary on this – much of which says this simply proves Democrats are smarter than Republicans.
The ratios do seem a little staggering. Economics seems to be one of the closest, where Republican are outnumbered 3:1.
Sociology and Anthropology has Democrats outnumbering Republicans by approximately 30:1
If this is all so, I wonder, more than little rhetorically, why do the stupid people always seem to run things?
