I haven't seen any such analysis for the Sad Puppies supporters, but I did see recently where someone had done a survey of the political views of the pro-GamerGate crowd. The results defy the usual framing; about half identified as some form of political left, and the other half was roughly split between moderate and right.

I'm quite sure a lot of the people I think of as "conservative" in the context of fandom would identify as Democrats. Whether that's really "left" is a separate question.
