Economists at the Fed skew Democrat 10 to 1. https://www.independent.org/tir/2022-fall/political-affiliat.... In a 2006 study of economists, Democrats outnumbered Republicans 2.5 to 1: https://econfaculty.gmu.edu/klein/PdfPapers/KS_PublCh06.pdf

Although it’s not really a partisan issue. Establishment republicans and establish democrats both support the central banking system.

Worth noting this might be more indicative of the state of modern US politics than any bias within the profession. Science professions as a whole overwhelmingly skew Democrat, it's not hard to imagine why.

I'm pretty sure it's that professors skew left, and science professors skew less to the left than other professors.
