If so, so all things being equal simply by being large a random sample of them might differ from a random sample of the smaller party. To be sure, this difference might be small and it’s a maybe anyhow.<div><br></div><div>I’m also not sure how big an impact 2.7 points would make. Other than on IQ scores themselves, would 2.7 more or less on average have much of a discernible impact on overall life choices?

Have to track down that data.) </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, did you look at the other results? Liberal Whites seem to score higher than conservative Whites.
