Daniel Rocke and his colleagues (2014) assessed support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act among a sample of 647 otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) physicians. They divided physicians by political party affiliation—Democrat, Other, and Republican (refer to the following table). Is there a relationship between political party affiliation and attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act? Explain.
