For example it shows that taxi drivers are a lot more liberal than truck drivers. I think this has more to do with the fact that all taxi drivers are from big cities, and large cities in general are more liberal than rural areas.

Very interesting to note that under "Religion" it lists 64% democrat. That just doesn't seem right from my personal experience. Anyone have a theory on that result?

This study also shows that "engineering" is dominated by Democrats when most other studies I have seen show that engineers are more likely to be conservatives.

Click on the professon title and it will break it down. You mention Engineering as surprising, but if you click on engineering you will see that Civil and Mechanical Engineering is mostly conservative. Liberals dominate the Environmental and software aspects as one might expect.
