They asked participants to rank their opinions on eight questions regarding “hot-button topics such as abortion, immigration, gun control, and gay marriage” on a 5-point scale. They concluded the “cluster reflecting Democrat belief-system almost exclusively contained extreme attitudes as indicated by strong disagreement with each of the eight items. Conversely, the cluster reflecting the Republican belief-system contained a wider range of attitude responses ranging from mild disagreement to maximum agreement.”
