Bill and Tim are correct. They are supported by more than one source and more that one study. [Don't have time to find 'em right now; there'll be a follow-up response later.] Graduates of HS and graduates with a bachelor's have a better chance of being Republican. Less than completion of HS or possession of a Master's or PhD produces Democratic leanings. Which produces a very confused picture as far as education versus political leanings. :-) There are ways of explanating this, but I doubt you'd enjoy it. :-)
