Actually, the higher the level of education, the less likely to support GW and his agenda. I've seen this first hand, and I believe it's supported by polls (I'll try to find a link).

Nevertheless, somehow the neocons do manage to find the (often) single butthead PhD that agrees with their upisdown theory du jour (e.g. there is no global warming, oil drilling helps caribou to breed, not requiring pollution control improves air quality, arsenic isn't really toxic, cutting forests saves them from burning, tax cuts for the rich create budget surpluses, tax cuts for the rich create jobs...) and trot him out as the expert - even if the other 99% of experts in the field roll their eyes. I've already posted this link in another thread, but it's a must-read.
