Democrats’ Favorite Industries Vs. Republicans’

Democrats like the government way more than Republicans do and Republicans like the oil and gas industry way more than Democrats do.

A Gallup poll released last week of how Democrats and Republicans feel about different industries shows Democrats and those who identify as leaning Democratic feel more positively about a number of industries than Republicans and those who identify as Republican leaners do.

Gallup noted, "No single reason explains all of these partisan differences. While some may reflect clear ideological differences between Republicans and Democrats, others may be a function of differences in the demographic make up of the two parties."

The computer industry was Democrats' favorite industry with 69% of respondents saying they felt positively about it.
