More color on industry contributions

Stats compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics are showing an undeniable shift in corporate giving toward Democrats this campaign cycle. Out of the top 20 categories, eight are either strongly tilted toward or leaning toward Democratic candidates, compared to three for Republicans (nine are "on the fence"). The Democratic advantage is even more stark when looking at just the top ten, where the score is Democrats five, on the fence five, Republicans zero. The closest of the CRP's categories to the RBR focus is TV/movies/music, which is the 9th most generous political giver and just one point off being the most severely tilted toward Democrats with 77% of the cash headed in that direction. Here are the totals by industry.
