Liberals and conservatives even vacation differently

With July 4th in the rearview mirror, we are officially into the season of summer getaways and escapes, but as with so many things, it may be hard to avoid partisan divide that defines the nation’s politics. Data from MRI-Simmons show how deeply the red/blue split runs through the culture, right down to how we vacation.

Start with that most basic measure: whether or not you can leave the country for your trip. The data show that people who self-identify as politically liberal are more likely to hold a valid passport than those who call themselves conservative. CONT.
