30 males and 47 females took the survey. Out of these people 12 of them were staff members, 21 were freshman, 15 were sophomores, 13 were Juniors, and 15 were were seniors along with  1 parent.

22 of the respondents  see themselves as  Republicans, 32 viewing themselves as Democrats and 21 said they are Independents  while  two  skipped the question.
