| The truth about who voted for Kerry and Bush |
| 2004-11-12 |
| To the extent that you trust exit polls, here's some interesting facts about Bush vs Kerry voters: VOTE BY INCOME: BUSH KERRY NADER Under $15,000 (8%) 36% 63% 0% $15-30,000 (15%) 42% 57% 0% $30-50,000 (22%) 49% 50% 0% $50-75,000 (23%) 56% 43% 0% $75-100,000 (14%) 55% 45% 0% $100-150,000 (11%) 57% 42% 1% $150-200,000 (4%) 58% 42% * $200,000 or More (3%) 63% 35% 1% Looks like underachievers generally vote for Kerry... the less you make the more likely you are to vote for him. VOTE BY EDUCATION BUSH KERRY NADER No High School (4%) 49% 50% 0% H.S. Graduate (22%) 52% 47% 0% Some College (32%) 54% 46% 0% College Graduate (26%) 52% 46% 1% Postgrad Study (16%) 44% 55% 1% Apparently the more educated you are the more likely you are to vote for Bush, up until the postgrad degree. This makes sense since most postgrads are ivory tower elitist who are afraid of the real world. Kerry does have a lead in the highschool dropouts though... |

| #4 Looks like underachievers generally vote for Kerry... the less you make the more likely you are to vote for him. Well, of course. Those are the people to whom Kerry is promising to give |

| #3 DPA, I was being a tad sarcastic. All I know is over 60 million Americans voted for W. |

| #2 Or they are making over 50k and make up the vast majority of people making over 50k that voted for Kerry... I think that's more likely. |

| #1 It's interesting that the postgrads don't appear to be making over $50k. All income categories over $50k favored Bush. |
