I don't think a data-based approach can accurately capture the type of phenomenon that GamerGate was, but you know I'd love to see how people attempted to rationalize it as coming from the left.

two main studies. first i'll bring up is brad glasgow's since he was more removed. up and downside is timing, his was done in late 2015/early 2016. note that GG was primarily on twitter so that's the main source to work with, of which he got 725 individuals:

some breakdown in his article here, some typical political questions were asked.
how right-wing is something that has an 82% of people believing in climate change, 2/3 are anti-death penalty, 90% are pro abortion, over 3/4 believe in healthcare being something the government should provide, etc? voting patterns are also addressed there and most went to the more liberal side.

second survey came earlier, in 2014. so this would be the more flashpoint breakdown, by allum bokhari. he was also the breitbart guy that told milo about it, and do know both instantly knew that this wasn't the breitbart or right wing audience (and going off the survey later done by brad, completely true considering non-GG readership at breitbart was single digit percentage). he got about 1500 people:

similar results though on the questions that overlapped.
52% disageeing that the free market can fix most social problems, over 3/4 believe wealth inequality's a major problem, etc. basically take most social issues that tend to define left and right and you'll see the left side win out usually overwhelmingly.

data nodes one... that'll take more effort to find, if you care. though i quite loved the way the pictures came out. but those two are the only two pieces of survey data regarding GG.
