Looks like the GOP is in big trouble. All of their anti-science, anti-academia, anti-AGW, pro-Creationism diatribes are losing them the votes of scientists.

Pew Research Poll on what scientists believe
people-press.org

Slightly more than half of scientists (52%) describe their own political views as liberal, including 14% who describe themselves as very liberal. Among the general public, 20% describe themselves as liberal, with just 5% calling themselves very liberal.

Most scientists identify as Democrats (55%), while 32% identify as independents and just 6% say they are Republicans.
