Conservatives are more sensitive to fear and anxiety.
A March 2011 MRI study at University College London found larger Amygdalae (the fear and anxiety portion of the brain) in self-identified conservative students.
Same study found liberals had more gray matter in the left posterior insula, the section of the brain dealing with complexity and emotional cues.
A team at the University of Nebraska showed liberals and conservatives “repellent images”, auto accidents, blood, feces, and measures how long their eyes lingered. Conservatives unconsciously stared an average of 15% longer.
Liberals are less cleanly than conservatives.
An NYU study in 2008 had participants take a look at photographs of 94 different offices from around the country and then describe what they saw. Offices of conservatives were more conventional, but also more cleanly, organized, and brightly lit.
Switch to party affiliation for a second.
4) Democrats tend to have completed higher levels of education.
Pew Research in 2014 show a 22% lead for democrats among voters with post-graduate degrees, a 7 point lead among college graduates, and an 8 point lead among lower-educated citizens. Leaving the Republicans with an advantage among americans with only a high school diploma.

![New Hampshire Primary Explained | How N.H. Ended Two Presidencies [2016]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ghX4_JWojkk/mqdefault.jpg "New Hampshire Primary Explained | How N.H. Ended Two Presidencies [2016]
How does the New Hampshire Primary work, and what have been the craziest primaries in the Granite State? This video takes a look at the history of the New Hampshire Primary and its impact on Presidential Politics. The New Hampshire primary is unique for several reasons, and With the 2016 First-in-the-nation primary just around the corner, candidates like Benie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and many more will be zig zagging the rural northeastern state, pining for every last vote.
I start by examining two instances when the NH Primary actually served to bring down a President. Both Harry Truman and Lydon B Johnson resigned from the Presidential Primaries after New Hampshire. While both men were likely to drop at some point anyways, NH gave them both a stark image of the political herizon.
