Misjudging A Book By Its Cover

William Jordan of YouGov found that Republicans and Democrats are both bad at guessing a book’s politics from its title alone:

We tested the titles of 17 political memoirs from potential 2016 candidates, both Republican and Democrat, asking which book people would be interested to read without saying who had written which book. It turns out that the overall favorite book amongst Republicans is by the Dennis Kucinich (A Prayer for America), a liberal, and the overall favorite amongst Democrats is by Ben Carson (One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future), a conservative.
