Most physicians say that they are moderately active in political matters, according to Physicians Practice's 2014 Great American Physician Survey.
The survey includes responses from 1,311 physicians.
Here are five statistics on the level of political activity of the respondents:
• Moderately involved, I pay attention and I vote, but otherwise I leave the politicking to others — 48.6 percent
• Somewhat active, I have occasionally volunteered time or donated money to a political candidate or organization and sometimes I attend political rallies — 22.4 percent
• Not very involved, I usually just vote for whomever my party has nominated and don't pay much attention beyond that — 14 percent
• Hardly at all, I usually don't vote — 9.7 percent
• Very active, I usually volunteer on campaigns/raise or give money to candidates/organize political events — 5.3 percent
