Perhaps even more striking than the Democrats' habits, however, is the contrast on the Republican side. While fans of Ted Cruz and John Kasich each overwhelmingly prefer traditionally conservative outlets like National Review — suggesting the two candidates are competing for much of the same audience — Donald Trump's supporters like Fortune, CNBC, and Men's Humor.
