Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn’t identify with one particular party.

    Generally, studies have shown that the more educated a person gets the more they lean left. People at the PhD level tend to be far more liberal than people with only a high school degree.

        I Googled “political orientation and educational level,” and the first link was this

        Pew Research study.

        It is highly detailed, with lots of graphs and charts, and eventually comes to the same conclusion that I posted in my previous comment.

        There are plenty of other links that confirm it as well.

          Thank you. I completely agree with you, and this study. I was trying to find a “dumbed down” version.
