This survey is not the most accurate - only 8 pts apart? You have to be careful about interpreting data - maybe this is a test to see how exercised we can get over much ado about nothing.

I thought this survey was odd myself. Saying "Utah ranked high and conservative is why" seems ridiculous on a survey where the South, which is also very conservative, ranked middle to low on what was a small spread to begin with. Dig a little deeper, guys.

Also, the words "right-leaning" are linked to the Life Science site, but the article featured on that page today, 11/11/09, is "7 Thoughts That Are Bad For You". If you're liberal, I am sure that's hilarious.

But in all seriousness, the article they should have pointed you to is here: http://www.livescience.com/health/080507-liberal-conservative.html

Take from that what you will.

This survey is too generalized and dumb, thank god it was Gallup and not a govt. project.
