[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing that all those Democratic/Republican numbers always add up to 100.  Like professors can only be a Democrat or a Republican.  I am not even counted. Makes me doubt the rigor of the research.

-one of many politically independent professors[/quote]

My reading of the report suggests that they are only reporting on those professors who could be identified as Democrat or Republican and excluding those whose political affiliation couldn't be identified  - so someone registered as independent (often "no affiliation") wouldn't be included.  So, it makes sense that the numbers add up to 100% - though I suppose there could be people registered to the "Green Party" or "American Communist Party" - but if so they were probably excluded as well.

It would be helpful to know what percentage is included.

Don't feel bad I'm not counted either - but I don't necessarily doubt the rigor of the research - especially since the results do not seem surprising in the least.
