This seems to be in line, albeit with a different conclusion, with the Pew research into age and political leanings. It seems unlikely that political preference is tied to naming in that direction, rather popular name cycles occur during periods of political popularity, or infamy, imprinting those political views during the formative years.
This is interesting, but i think it's not useful.
If you had 100 Roberts in A Republican county and then another 100 Roberts in a Democratic county it looks like Robert is a neutral name, overall, for two counties but in reality it's solidly Republican in one and solidly Democratic in another.
So, without context, this means little. It's something to mention at a party, I guess where no one will look things up and take what you said as something insightful.
Very interesting. As a side note, I am suspicious of the data on this site regarding stripper and adult actor names because these are often pseudonyms.

I like the "Delbert" at the extreme right of the spectrum.
