Of course those number always include data for the support of their religious recreations, so they are not accurate indicators of actual charity.

Who Really Gives Partisanship and Charitable Giving in the United States by Michele Margolis Michael Sances SSRN
In this paper, we first show that conservatives and liberals are equally generous in their donation habits. This pattern holds at both the individual and state level, and contradicts the conventional wisdom that partisans differ in their generosity. Second, we show that while levels of giving are roughly equivalent,
liberals are much more likely to donate to secular organizations, and conservatives are more likely to donate to religious causes,
especially their own congregation.
What IS charity?
All of these studies use the IRS definition of "charity" rather than the biblical definition. In the bible, God defines charity as giving to the needy without receiving, or expecting to receive, anything in return. Most "charity" conservatives give is in the form of tithes to their church. The vast majority of that money goes to salaries and building expenses -- for people and buildings that provide the giver with services. A tiny, miniscule fraction goes to the poor and needy.
So, in actuality, it seems that liberals give quite a bit more to biblical charity than conservatives.
We have all made mistakes. But Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted on different scales. Better the occasional faults of a party living in the spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a party frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
