So they had another graph that their default html code doesn't show here. They ask you a few survey questions after the test, one of which is "who did you vote for in 2004". About two-thirds of the survey takers were Kerry voters, which isn't surprising, but the distribution graph of Bush vs. Kerry voters is interesting. I like this graph because it's probably a better indicator of what areas on the graph mean than the made-up areas that the authors drew above:

In other words, I am a relatively socially conservative but still rather mainstream Kerry voter. :P
