There would be issues with this methodology, namely that some people like to register their likes on facebook (so would sign up for sites like this) but avoid talking about politics too much for fear of alienating friends and associates.

I've made one or two political posts of my own, and around five or so times i've lashed out at especially dumb conservative commentary, but i stay well clear of "liking" any political entities.

Based on my experiences of Facebook, I wouldn't say you're a typical user... most people who are interested in politics will happily flaunt it as much as possible.

At my work, almost everyone is liberal and will constantly openly bash Romney.  I'm legit afraid that if I say anything positive about Romney it will affect me moving forward in the company.  I just keep my mouth shut.

 

OT: That is an interesting graph.  Some of them fall right in line with what I would have guessed: Zillow (a real estate enitity) is far right, while Reddit is far left.  Others kind of surprise me: Farmville pretty far right.
