Democrats lead by 22 points (57%-35%) in leaned party identification among adults with post-graduate degrees. The Democrats’ edge is narrower among those with college degrees or some post-graduate experience (49%-42%), and those with less education (47%-39%). Across all educational categories, women are more likely than men to affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic. The Democrats’ advantage is 35 points (64%-29%) among women with post-graduate degrees, but only eight points (50%-42%) among post-grad men.

This kind of exchange are not productive as we’re not debating actual policies. [1] https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/2246 https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/2246

  This paper is a lot effort to show that older white male STEM people nudge the aggregate partisan lean a little bit to the right. I like this paper's framework and cites. Will use it to better understand the work of Data For Progress and adjacent.
