Is it? I've read recently that 40% of gun owners are Democrats, although I couldn't remember where at the moment. I could think of more reliable indicators. Well, actually, I thought I could, but in fact I could think of more reliable Democrat indicators but I'm not sure about R ones.
I'm getting my data from http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/in-gun-ownership-statistics-partisan-divide-is-sharp/
Also, I meant demographic indicators - if opinions count, "I am a (Republican/Democrat)" seems the most accurate.
Advocacy of teaching Creationism or Intelligent Design in schools? Opposition to both gay marriage and civil partnerships?
Yes, probably. Homeschooling, perhaps, as well, though maybe only if you stick to a D/R dichotomy.
