As to MBAs, I don't know how common it is in the US for various specialisations to actually do a master. In Germany, a Bachelor is worth nothing (even not for chartered accountants), so virtually every economic professional needs an MBA here. A quick count among my MBA friends and acquaintances (including colleagues, and guys I went to school with) yields something like 12 left-leaning vs. 2 right-leaning vs. 1 toss-up, but that is Germany, and may also include quite an selection bias on my side.
In terms of specialisation, I would guess the following:
Marketing - strong Obama
Recruiting - strong Obama (many females)
Banking / Finance - toss-up (international exposure favouring Obama, self-identification favouring Romney)
Accounting / taxation - toss-up or lean Obama
Production management/ control - Romney
IT-related - Obama
Top management - depends on sector, industry strong Romney, services toss-up or lean Obama.
Overall, I would guess it is an Obama lean.
