But a lot of these areas have urban cities fillied with ghettos, filled with people who are on welfare and 'disability'.
Seems like (usually) big cities tend to be more liberal, but they also have 'hoods.

I have a very strong feeling that the in NYC most medical doctors are Conservatives. I don't have stats to back it up but have plenty of anecdotal evidence.
A study on the political attitudes of medical students, for example, found that "U.S. medical students are considerably more likely to be liberal than conservative and are more likely to be liberal than are other young U.S. adults. Future U.S. physicians may be more receptive to liberal messages than conservative ones, and their political orientation may profoundly affect their health system attitudes."[26] Similar results are found for professors, who are more strongly inclined towards liberalism and the Democratic Party than other occupational groups.[24] The Democratic Party also has strong support among scientists, with 55% identifying as Democrats, 32% as Independents, and 6% as Republicans and 52% identifying as liberal, 35% as moderate, and 9% as conservative.

Academics, intellectuals, and the highly educated overall constitute an important part of the Democratic voter base. Academia in particular tends to be progressive. In a 2005 survey, nearly 72% of full-time faculty members identified as liberal, while 15% identified as conservative. The social sciences and humanities were the most liberal disciplines while business was the most conservative. Male professors at more advanced stages of their careers as well as those at elite institutions tend be the most liberal.[24] Another survey by UCLA conducted in 2001/02, found 47.6% of scholars identifying as liberal, 34.3% as moderate, and 18% as conservative.[28] Percentages of professors who identified as liberal ranged from 49% in business to over 80% in political science and the humanities.[24] Social scientists, such as Brett O'Bannon of DePauw University, have claimed that the "liberal" opinions of professors seem to have little, if any, effect on the political orientation of students.[29][30] Whether or not that is true, some conservatives and Republicans complain they are offended and even threatened by the liberal atmosphere of college campuses. As of July 2008 the Students for Academic Freedom arm of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a conservative organization, posted a list of 440 student complaints, most of which pertain to perceived liberal bias of college professors.
Some attribute the liberal inclination of American professors to the more liberal outlook of the highly educated.
Maybe, maybe not. Just don't mistake "educated" for smart. There are a lot of people with college degrees that are still complete idiots lacking a shred of common sense.
uhh, not really. It's a fairly well known fact that most (college aged) students have liberal views. It's once they mature and start seeing for themselves the wasteful spending of the money extracted from their paychecks that their eyes are opened to conservative beliefs.
medical students are considerably more likely to be liberal than conservative
and after they start to practice medicine many change I wonder why
give me a poll that shows a doctor after 5 years on the job who understands all that is wrong with the medical system. Polls from a medical school only show what someone who has no experience thinks how about those who practices medicine enough to see through the liberal propaganda. Many doctor's here were amongst the only people who donated money to Republican candidates.
