Sorta fits what I would assume. For instance Psychiatrists are disproportionately liberal while Neurosurgeons are strongly conservative.

I want to thank you for this, it is very interesting. A lot of neat information there.

I find it interesting that this source shows "engineering" to be a liberal profession while most other sources I have seen claim most engineers are conservative.
