all your links are to the same poll, and it's only 2500 people and no break down. you can get any poll to say what you want. "Now I would expect you to put me on ignore as you cannot defend your positions" is that why you have me on ignore

Andrew Kohut is an American pollster. Kohut currently serves as the president of Pew Research Center and director of two of Pew's sub-projects: Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and Pew Global Attitudes Project.[1] Kohut is a regular guest on National Public Radio and television news programs such as the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, where he presents Pew's poll results and analysis.[2][1] can't get more liberal then that. Wonder how many numbers he pulls out of his ass to favor is side

I'd love more!!! Because that study doesn't define "Scientist". In fact, the study specifically separates out MDs and Engineers (and dentists and pharmacists. All of which are defined as scientists by the AAAS. The study was done in conjunction with the AAAS and yet they separate out these professions. Has it occurred to you that there may be a built in bias to the study? Since they clearly separate out scientists who operate as businesses, the focus is on scientists who are associated with state or federal institutions. In other words, they are democrats because democrats are more willing to give them paychecks. When the study doesn't have a built in bias, I'll take it more seriously. thanks for playing.....next!
