To some people, political views are as personal as religious beliefs and morals. That's why the results of a Vault.com survey are surprising. According to the survey, 35 percent of bosses openly share their political views with employees. Nine percent of workers said they've felt pressured to conform to their boss' views. Additionally, 30 percent of respondents say co-workers have tried to sway their votes.

Only about half of those surveyed said they were open about their own political views at work, while 66 percent said their co-workers candidly discuss politics. And 46 percent have actually witnessed a political argument between colleagues in the workplace.
