Open Secrets reports that “lawyers and law firms” have so far donated $82 million in the 2008 election cycle, 77% to Democrats. The lowest percentage since 1990 is 69%.
If these ratios are representative of the legal profession, then lawyers would be inclined to *be* Democrats. In any case, these data show that lawyers are inclined to *favor* Democrats.
