The short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is that I would highly doubt the statistical significance of the popular "studies" you can find online. Furthermore, intelligence is more a function of using collected knowledge effectively and various other forms of connecting the dots, for lack of a better term. Intelligence has more to do with how the individual came to have the specific party affiliations or beliefs rather than the affiliations/beliefs themselves.

What I am looking for is studies on Republican vs Democrat intelligence, for example using the IQ testing of for example 1000 randomly selected Republicans compared with a random 1000 Democrats. Or the level of education of Democrats versus Republicans.

I don't know if the IQ tests or the education level is the best way to measure one persons intelligence.

Democrats, as a whole, are less educated an amass less wealth.  To me, that means they aren't as smart, but that's just me.

Not HS Grad              College Grad & Post-grad
% of Democrats            32%                           15%
% of Independents       22%                           18%
% of Republicans          19%                           23%

Here is the data on people who earn incomes over $75,000 which is also highly correlated to IQ:

                        Income under $75,000        over $75,000
% of Democrats            74%                             26%
% of Independents        72%                             28%
% of Republicans           57%                             43%

http://www.LearnToLearnAlliance.com At the center of the education system should be a focus on building brain power -- not just on learning information or how to improve standardized test scores. We must start by developing the building blocks of learning at brain level -- cognition, memory, evaluation and classification, and problem solving. Improving cognitive thinking is the foundation for a lifetime of learning and re-learning in a century of perpetual change. We must prepare our children (and ourselves) for the life ahead of them by giving them the fundamental brain skills that will drive success in this century. It is our responsibility to our children. http://www.LearnToLearnAlliance.com
