As the designated science geek here, I was happy to see an report that a majority of voters of both parties list science as an important issue. Although democrats feel more strongly about it that do republicans, voters across the board support research into science and technology, with emphasis on the three E’s: education, environment, and energy.
Sadly, at least with the candidates, agriculture (one of my other favorite subjects) does not appear to hold nearly as strong a position, according to some ag publications. Given the state of the FDA, rising food costs and biofuels, perhaps it should.

The report you link to “Americans Prefer Candidates Strong on Science” is telling. The report indicates the majority of Americans prefer candidates strong on science, yet the minority, vocal activist groups “paint” a picture that many in society are opposed to science! What a deception!!
