College Football: strongly Republican (fans likely have a college degree from a large state school, live in the South or the Midwest - all things that point to voting Republican)

NFL Football: leans Republican (largely reflects the makeup of a given city's fanbase: i.e. Dallas Cowboys fans are probably more Republican than Detroit Lions fans)

College Basketball: strong Democratic (basketball schools tend to be situated along the East Coast, basketball's general fanbase is disproportionately African-American)

NBA Basketball: strong Democratic (NBA viewership is heavily non-white)

Baseball: 50/50 split (fanbase tends to be whiter and more affluent, but you also have huge followings in liberal cities like Boston and NYC)

Hockey: leans Democratic (basically a Rust Belt/Upper Midwest sport; overwhelmingly white, leans toward middle- and working-class)

Golf: strong Republican (older, upscale white male fanbase)

Tennis: leans Republican (upscale white following)

MMA: 50/50 split (18-35yo male following; primarily white & Hispanic fanbase; lower end up the spectrum as far as income and education levels)

NASCAR: strong Republican (Southern, rural white fanbase)

Bush won the election at Wrigley Field in 2004 over Kerry. The fans voted as they entered the gates.

Well I'd assume Bush would have won the fans who could afford to buy tickets to the actual game as opposed to those watching at home.
