The graph proved their point though didn’t it? You can argue it’s not a significant difference but clearly there is a difference. I’ve seen a variety of different sources demonstrating this phenomena, it seems clear to me that lower income people have been increasingly identifying as Republicans in recent years, and wealthy people increasingly vote Democratic. From what I’ve seen it is only in the most wealthy and well educated parts of the country where Democrats have consistently increased their support over the past three election cycles. The rest of the country it is mostly the opposite. Trumpism and the MAGA cult have really transformed the Republican party, they have grown this whole new constituency of working class people that used to not vote much and tended to vote Democratic when they did. Now those people are mostly reliable Republicans who live in a fantasy world of propaganda and hate Democrats.
100k for the family isn’t very high, especially in places like California. Im curious how it would look if you added a $200k, $500k, $1m tier to the survey.
You can see though that its not split 50/50 and that higher income people went for Harris, i.e. “wealthier people were less likely to vote for Trump”. As I said in my previous comment, you can argue it’s not a significant difference given how small it is but it is very obviously there. I personally think it is significant given how tight elections are and that its been a sustained trend for a number of years now.
I do have another Lemmy account on Beehaw but I never use it, otherwise this is my only Lemmy account. Why do you ask?
3% would be the difference between a decisive Trump victory and a decisive Harris victory, but I didn’t say that Harvard has very few Trump supporters primarily because wealthier people tend to oppose Trump. Both are true but the latter isn’t the main reason for the former.
Yes. I don’t have surveys specifically of college students but that’s what I extrapolate from the relationship between income and Trump support in the population as a whole.

Why emphasize wealthy? Wealthier people were less likely to vote for Trump.
Nice bait kiddo
Source.
Trump is the President of the working class.
You’re showing a 50% split no matter what your income level is. Can you read graphs?

It didn’t prove anything other than it’s split no matter what your income level is. Is this your ALT account?

Oh wow, that 3% difference sure must mean Harvard is Trump free!

It’s a bad graph. Take it from me, 120k household income is not wealthy. It’s barely enough to afford a house, healthcare and transportation.
A better graph would be 0-100k, 100k-1M, 1M-10M and 10M+.
Trump is the president of the US, but he is really the president for billionaires.

Take a look at CNN’s exit polls. I have a screenshot here.
Are you suggesting that wealthy college kids are less likely to be trump supporters that non-wealthy college kids?
This is anecdotal, I know. But I work for a public college, and MAGA is popular. Of course, we have large police and firefighter programs.
