It is a poll of professors of political science. Studies of college professors in non-technical fields show huge ratios of liberals to conservatives. The link below to a typical study shows liberals out number conservatives by 12-1.

Ok, but that brings up
why are college professors and college educated individuals generally more liberal ........

...Surveys conducted by the Xavier University in Ohio have provided a different explanation of the prevalence of liberal academics in colleges. The survey outlined the so-called 'Self-Selection Hypothesis', which proposed that conservatives were less likely to pursue careers in academia due to a combination of personal preference and belief that they would face more challenges in achieving academic success due in a progressive-dominated field. The study found that conservatives aspired to get into higher-paying jobs,
whilst liberals were more likely to be affiliated with community service occupations and were less influenced by monetary gratification.[5]
Furtemore and unfortunately for the right, this disdain and rebellion against higher education means in general less awareness of historical, economic and scientific perspectives on the current dualistic, right/left argument.
Riht wing cynicism about college "elitism" is ant-intellectualism on steroids. So the right wing bias on this board and out there in Trump land against educated, therefore liberal progressive individuals and their viewsis does not mean this presidential study is necessarily wrong.
That is the same anti-intellectualism you gents show towards science and evolution and global warming.
