When I first looked at the chart in that article, I took the results to mean that republicans and Independents value the economy over democracy itself.

Everyone in the poll was asked: "From this list, which of the following issues do you feel is the most important facing our country:"

When I thought about how they could believe we would even have an economy without our democracy, I realized that they were probably thinkng that the economy is currently in more danger than our democracy, which makes sense because the republicans are the reason our democracy is in danger in the first place, plus they're fools for the B.S. the repub party (and corporate media) spew at them.
