I'm not sure it's a scientific sampling, but I managed an office of 50 engineers and scientists. Just my observations -

Scientists are very conservative, and they are skeptical of change for change sake. Any changes have to be thoroughly debated and justified. They definitely don't "drink the Kool-Aid".
I think the majority supported stem cell research, but, I'm pretty sure that most of them believed in less government intervention.

If I had to guess about their political leanings, I would think that it would be Independent, with ring wing leanings.

One observation that has always fascinated me -- a large majority of them are married to very artsy women, who presumably who have more democratic leanings. Go figure.
