| Poll: Wealthy Voters Abandon Republican Party for Hillary Clinton |
| 2016-09-22 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna A Bloomberg poll shows that Americans living in households making $100,000 or more have abandoned the Republican party, led by Donald Trump, in favor of Hillary Clinton. Clinton beats Trump by 46 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll. Twelve percent indicated that they were not sure. Bloomberg reports that the Republican nominee has either won or tied among the group of voters making $100,000 or more, according to the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research. According to exit polls, Mitt Romney had a ten-point lead over Obama among the high-earning group in 2012, but still lost the election. People who benefit by the current state of affairs don't want changes? |

| #9 Sometimes one abandons something right before the tar is warmed up and the feathers have been gathered. |

| #8 Answer a poll? They got the database. They know your age, race, residence, whether you're registered, et al. You have been sliced and diced and pigeon holed already. You are surrendering the secret vote. |

| #7 Consider how many people at this income/education range would answer a poll and admit financial information. How many answer polls at all, I certainly never do. So how reliable do you consider such info? |

| #6 It takes over $100K a year in Californicate to live as middle class. Everything in any Democratic paradise is so frigging expensive. I plan to retire one of these days and move to a Republican state where I can live comfortably on about a third of what I need here. |

| #3 There are a lot more "poor" people than "rich" people. In theory we each get one vote. |

| #1 I do not consider 100,000 per year wealthy and I would like to see these numbers spilt by private sector versus public sector (there are plenty of GIVERnment workers pulling down more than 100k per year) |
