>> So the simple reason that scientists are generally not Republicans, and the majority are liberals and Democrats is because liberals and Democrats believe in science, and evolution and global warming and stem cell research, etc. etc. Koan, I understand you have not the slightest comprehension of math, science, or statistics. But you should at least do basic homework; it doesn't require a high school diploma to get this much: According to Pew, the survey’s sample of scientists was extracted entirely from the membership rolls at the American Association for the Advancement of Science: Results for the scientist survey are based on 2,533 online interviews conducted from May 1 to June 14, 2009 with members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International. A sample of 9,998 members was drawn from the AAAS membership list excluding those who were not based in the United States or whose membership type identified them as primary or secondary-level educators. And the society didn’t just provide Pew with its membership list. “[AAAS Director] Waylon Butler and his colleagues as AAAS were instrumental at constructing the sample of scientists and managing the recruitments of participants for the scientist survey,” says the Pew report. This is important, because the AAAS is (as its name suggests) a political advocacy group. This is what is know in the field of statistics as a NON-SCIENTIFIC POLL, with a BIASED sample. Please do not attack others for their ignorance when yours is far more egregious.

The Americans who work for a living voted overwhelmingly for the GOP ! For the next 8 years the Supreme Court and 100 lower courts will be stacked with conservative pro life judges by the Trump administration because Americans voted the GOP into office and kicked the socialist anti American politicians out of D.C. Every exec order and ObamaCare will be reversed and replaced with free market policies. How great is it to wake up to morning in America once again !

The majority of the Republican Party does not even believe in evolution, let alone global warming. That aspect might keep some scientists away, but those are not the only issues. And then again, according to the poll you stated, 37% of repubs do accept evolution and I infer that the remaining 14% don't care either way. So when you say the majority, there are quite a few that "believe" otherwise.
