Study show Republican voters have higher IQ's than dems and are also more successful

[buckeye45_73]

And you guys nominated Hillary Klinton.
So what's your point.
Her lies are becoming laughable.

And then I ask, "What lies are those" and I get some sniper fire from a dozen years ago or her emails from which she was exonerated.

In the mean time, let's look at Trump's lies:

Networks Are Now Fact-Checking Trump's Lies in Real Time and It's Ruining His Campaign

yeah from the same media that loves the democrats and ignores everything they do.....sorry this chart is bogus.

Gee, blaming someone else; that never happens (except every time a filthy assed conservative like you opens their mouth)

Yeah the press is objective...keep thinking that.

Course it's not objective. It's in Trump's pocket:

Donald Trump has earned $2 billion in free media coverage, study shows

Study: Trump 'Has Earned Close to $2 Billion Worth of Media Attention', by Jim Geraghty, National Review

That was primary...they never talk.anout Clinton scandals..ever

Well duh,


Study finds Repuiblican voters have Higher IQ than democrats. Also republicans more successful and better informed.

File under: Well DUHHHHH!!

Verbal intelligence is correlated with socially and economically liberal beliefs

•Individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence (2–5 IQ points)

•Individuals who vote Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence (2 IQ points)

•Verbal intelligence is correlated with socially and economically liberal beliefs (β = .10-.32)

AbstractResearch
has consistently shown that intelligence is positively correlated with
socially liberal beliefs and negatively correlated with religious
beliefs. This should lead one to expect that Republicans are less
intelligent than Democrats. However, I find that individuals who
identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than
those who identify as Democrat (2–5 IQ points), and that individuals who
supported the Republican Party in elections have slightly higher verbal
intelligence than those who supported the Democratic Party (2 IQ
points). I reconcile these findings with the previous literature by
showing that verbal intelligence is correlated with both socially and
economically liberal beliefs (β = .10–.32). My findings suggest that
higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates
for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans.
Surveys: Republicans more open-minded, better informed than Democrats



Yet another new survey shows that Republican supporters know more about politics and political history than Democrats.


On eight of 13 questions about politics, Republicans outscored
Democrats by an average of 18 percentage points, according to a new Pew
survey titled “Partisan Differences in Knowledge.”
The Pew survey adds to a wave of surveys and studies showing that
GOP-sympathizers are better informed, more intellectually consistent,
more open-minded, more empathetic and more receptive to criticism than
their fellow Americans who support the Democratic Party.
“Republicans fare substantially better than Democrats on several
questions in the survey, as is typically the case in surveys about
political knowledge,” said the study, which noted that Democrats
outscored Republicans on five questions by an average of 4.6 percent.





The widest partisan gap in the survey came in at 30 points when only
46 percent of Democrats — but 76 percent of Republicans —- correctly
described the GOP as “the party generally more supportive of reducing
the size of federal government.”
The widest difference that favored Democrats was only 8 percent, when
59 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats recognized the
liberal party as “more [supportive] of reducing the defense budget.”
Special: 68 Year Old Looks 31: You Will Not Believe Her Simple Trick
The survey quizzed 1,000 people, including 239 Republicans and 334 Democrats.


However, Pew’s data suggests that the Democrats’ low average rating
likely is a consequence of its bipolar political coalition, which
combines well-credentialed post-graduate progressives who score well in
quizzes with a much larger number of poorly educated supporters, who
score badly.

For example, the survey reported that 90 percent of college grads
recognized the GOP as the party most supportive of cutting the federal
government. But that number fell to 54 percent of people with a
high-school education or less.
In contrast, the Republican party coalition is more consistent, and has few poorly educated people and fewer post-graduates.


Pew’s new study echoes the results of many other reports and studies
that show GOP supporters are better educated, more empathetic and more
open to criticism than Democrats.
A March 12 Pew study showed that Democrats are far more likely that
conservatives to disconnect from people who disagree with them.
“In all, 28% of liberals have blocked, unfriended, or hidden someone
on SNS [social networking sites] because of one of these reasons,
compared with 16% of conservatives and 14% of moderates,” said the
report, tiled “Social networking sites and politics.”
The report also noted that 11 percent of liberals, but only 4 percent
of conservatives, deleted friends from their social networks after
disagreeing with their politics.
A March Washington Post poll showed that Democrats were more willing
to change their views about a subject to make their team look good. For
example, in 2006, 73 percent of Democrats said the GOP-controlled White
House could lower gas prices, but that number fell by more than half to
33 percent in 2012 once a Democrat was in the White House.
In contrast, the opinions of GOP supporters were more consistent.
Their collective opinion shifted by only a third, according to the data.
In 2006, 47 percent in believed the White House could influence gas
prices. By 2012, that number had risen to 65 percent up 17 points
compared to the Democrats’ 40 point shift.

Great post......Republicans do believe in science and are smarter so we don't fall for hoaxes like global warming or eugenics. And democrats wouldn't know history if it hit them in the ass

Coming from someone who believes it was conservative confederates who freed the slaves.

You're a low information moron that think republicans were the party of the confederacy......who thinks FDR, Wilson, and all democrats were ultra conservative

 

[tyroneweaver]

....and here's a picture of one of the study's republican respondents

Funny you should post a picture from the 60's. Democrats beating black people with sticks.

Southern conservatives.

did you get that from www.57states.com

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

And this is why nearly entire departments of college professors, teachers and scientist are liberals. While, the most backwards people in this country that live in mobile homes and talk shit about science are conservatives!!! They just have too much common fucking sense to do any of that teaching and educating shit.

You can't escape your own talking points bubble.

Hilarious

Rewriting history.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Southern conservatives.

Indeed, those rednecks in that picture are about as much "democrats" as Blunderkiss' grandmother died as a virgin.

Historically ignorant and trying to insult my grandmother. Typical Democrat. Own your parties history.

 

[candycorn]

You guys nominated Donald Trump. That is Conclusive proof of idiocy.

You guys got Obama in the white house in 2008 , and to think this current mess just started with a pubic hair on a coke can...

Both party's continue try to sink to New levels and try to out do eatch other

At how much crappy as we can go.

Pubic hair? Typical trump supporters, as classless as can be

Here is the actual study in it's entirety:

https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2014-carl.pdf

Stunningly bizarre. The way it starts off with typical right winger assumptions and the conclusions are all over the place.

Example: Overall, the results from Tables B.1 and B.2 reinforce the prediction that Independents with higher intelligence are more likely to support the Democratic Party in elections.

This conclusion comes from an entire study insisting Republicans are smarter than Democrats. But higher intelligence Independents more like to support Democrats. Huh?

And some of the other statements are bizarre beyond belief. Check this out: My findings suggest that higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans. ©

So socially conservative Republicans are stupid? Well, I won't argue with that, but it's the method on how he got to this point. Let me give some examples of what is assumed to be "liberal views":

Government should provide a job for everyone

Government should reduce income differences

Government should control prices

I don't know any liberal who believes in those things.

And you want to know what conservatives believe? Check out Table 3. You're not gonna like it.

OK, good luck on this laughable study.

The Liberal view is that the government should provide for those that don't have what the government thinks they need. The government can't provide for everyone. Many of us provide for ourselves like we should.

So all the talk about raising minimum wage and proposals by Liberals of limiting CEO pay to a percentage of the lowest paid worker isn't trying to reduce income differences?

You guys nominated Donald Trump. That is Conclusive proof of idiocy.

You guys picked someone based on black skin color and having a vagina thinking those two things were qualifications.

Come on now, If the republicans would have let Hillary switch parties and run as a republican, you would have been saying how poor a candidate she is too.
its all about the R or the D. as long as its free you guys will vote for it.

 

[Preacher]

I bet independent voters top both republicans and democrats.
