While my observations are anecdotal at best, I notice a different trend. I talk to all kinds of people and have a large network of people that I talk with about different things. Here is what I notice.
Very high IQ folks I have spoken with are a mix, but mostly tend to lean conservative. They also try to avoid talking politics. I’ve never met a highly intelligent leftist, but I know there are some out there.
High IQ tends to be a mix but mostly conservative. They consistently provide sound and solid arguments that are almost bullet proof. I also have lots of left leaning friends in this category who I talk politics with regularly and utilize to keep my own arguments sharp. They provide challenging and convincing arguments and force me to be accurate about my claims. They are capable of providing valid counter-arguments and claims unlike the majority. Ultimately, I value accuracy and truth which prevails in my arguments and disqualifies theirs.
Majority (exceptions of course) of people who are mid level IQ and intelligence in this region tend to politically lean left. (IQ 85-115 or one standard deviation + or -) Their discussions of things related to politics have an average level of understanding and can provide arguments, occasionally with evidence or examples to support their claims, but often lack depth when pushed or challenged. This is most common.
Lower IQ tends to be more of a mix. Lots of Trump tards who believe in fake news and regurgitate things that are non-sense and untrue. There are also lots (probably more) of emotionally driven leftists incapable of having discussions without yelling, screaming, or justifying violence. Their arguments are terrible and understanding of politics and just about anything else in life seems poor. They lack meaning, purpose and discipline in their lives.
The very low IQ peeps are also a mix but are mostly Trump tard rednecks and hillbillies.
So basically a large portion of the middle spectrum is your democrats and leftists. The ends of the spectrum are mostly conservatives.
