Occupations and voting

[King of Kensington]

What are the most Democratic- and Republican-voting occupations?

My guess for most Democratic:  academics, scientists, social workers, writers, artistic professions, union officials

Most Republican:  police, prison guards and wardens, farmers

How do other professions such as physicians, dentists, lawyers, stockbrokers, accountants, engineers, pilots, nurses, schoolteachers, real estate agents, etc. break down?

Quack medical fields:

Naturopaths = Democrat

Chiropractors =Republican

So among the highly educated professions, well-paid MDs (especially the specialties) and dentists stand out as occupations where "income trumps degree" in determining voting patterns.  Academics and scientists regardless of income are Democratic.  Lawyers are likely overall in "degree trumps income", but they are far from an overwhelmingly Democratic group.

Income trumps degree voting probably kicks in at around $150K or so (although elite academics and scientists would still be massively Democrat).

The Democratic advantage among graduate degree holders is obviously due to the heavily female and lower paid teachers, social workers and librarians, as well as academics and scientists.

How about among graduate/professional degree holders?

MD, DDS and MBA - mostly Republican

The rest would be majority Democrat - with several (PhD, MSW, MLS etc. being overwhelmingly so)
