More Democrats than Republicans believe in ghosts, talking with the dead, fortunetellers
Well this explains why so many dead people vote Dem.
A new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reveals some startling differences between Republicans and Democrats on issues of spirituality and supernatural phenomenon.
The report is not specifically about partisan differences, but the results of the study are broken down by party affiliation, among many other categories. And the news on that front is that Democrats are far more likely to believe in supernatural phenomenon than Republicans.
"Its .. its .. Da Mayor!"
"Conservatives and Republicans report fewer experiences than liberals or Democrats communicating with the dead, seeing ghosts and consulting fortunetellers or psychics," the Pew study says.
What accounts for them? Pew doesn't say. But the report does note that there are gender, ethnic, and racial differences in the totals.
