Well, I can't argue with data. I was thinking of e.g. Catholics who are left on economic issues, but right on issues of abortion and gay marriage, or libertarians who are the opposite. I personally have known many people like this, but again I can't argue with data ...

This could (maybe) also reflect a difference in level of political activity among the populations. If you have a high level of liberal or socialist opinion in a given population, and a low level of conservative, but if the latter is politically active and the other is not, the area will ...
