The United States is embroiled in a hotly contested presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The two parties seem more divided than ever, unable to agree on even the most basic things.
But there’s something that both Republicans and Democrats can agree on: They all love TV shows like the CW’s Supernatural and AMC’s zombie drama The Walking Dead.
According to a new E-Score poll that ranked the Top 10 TV shows among registered Republicans and Democrats, Supernatural, starring Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as the demon-hunting Winchester brothers, was the most popular common title, ranking first for Republicans and third for Democrats. The Walking Dead and the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory are the only two shows to appear on both lists.
Surprisingly, Republicans favor the young-skewing CW more, with Supernatural being joined by Arrow and The Flash. However, that may be due to a love for heroes triumphing over the bad guys. CBS crime procedurals like Scorpion, NCIS and Blue Bloods also did well among Republicans.

For Democrats, the list seems more about rich and powerful anti-heroes, from OWN’s The Haves and the Have-Nots to shows like Suits, Empire and How to Get Away with Murder. They also prefer fantasy, with shows like Game of Thrones and Doctor Who.
I’ll let you decide for yourselves what the political reasons are for these lists and which one is better, but here are the Top 10 TV shows for Republicans and Democrats, according to this survey.
