Conservatives more susceptible to political swindles than other voters?

BTW, that second link is terrible, I cant believe that a site that publish articles like this one calls himself "Scientific America". After checking both links I'm no longer sure if this is a real study or is satire

The first link is the real study at Plos journal, which isn't even a particularly good scientific journal, I think many other journals would have scrapped the paper for being biased and founded on poor arguements.

You'll find that "Scientific American" is a site that tends to be like IFLscience, where some articles are good and some others have a completely misleading content of title and present things the way they want them to appear...but in this case it was consistent with the paper published.
