They're actually voted as mostly Democrat, and then second most independent, but if you rank out the bands by Republican votes, U2 comes in fifth place, whereas if you rank them according to Democrat (which they actually have more Democrat than Republican votes), they come in something like 12th place. I guess a lot of bands have a lot of Democratic votes and U2 happens to have a lot of Republican votes too.
