I'd like to see information on the population studied. And I'd like to know more about the questions that were asked.

The "facts" in this article are very vague -- but the conclusion (that both Republicans and Democrats base their political decisions on knee-jerk emotional reactions rather than logical thought) seems to go against the general trends which I have observed in my life.

These "researchers" were just trying to bolster their belief that "extremes on either side are wrong" -- missing the point entirely that there may be some objective truth and factual absolutes in play.

Just because Einstein proved the visual world was relative, doesn't mean that the world of concepts or ideas is.
