A new survey shows college professors in the humanities and social sciences are 10 times more likely to vote Democratic than Republican. In the survey, conducted by a professor at Santa Clara University, more than 80 percent of professors say they’ve tended to vote Democratic in the past decade. About eight percent say they’ve tended to vote Republican. What’s more, the survey shows that professors of anthropology and sociology are the most likely to vote Democrat, while professors of economic and political science are the least likely.
And what were the issues of this campaign? Big-picture economic and policy issues.
(Only 80 percent? Look for survey sample bias.)
