There's a lot of cool stuff when you dig deep into the interactive data sets.

For example, among Evangelical Protestants, there are some significant differences in partisan identification by household income level:

Under $30k: 41% identify as Republican/lean Republican vs. 38% who identify as Democratic/lean Democratic and 21% with no lean.

$30-$50k: 57% identify as Republican/lean Republican vs. 31% who identify as Democratic/lean Democratic and 12% with no lean.

$50k-$99k: 67% identify as Republican/lean Republican vs. 22% who identify as Democratic/lean Democratic and 11% with no lean.

$100k or more: 73% identify as Republican/lean Republican vs. 19% who identify as Democratic/lean Democratic and 8% with no lean.



Wow, that's really interesting!!  Not so much that rich evangelicals are staunchly Republican but that poorer ones are that split.  How did you get that deep in the data??  I would love to look at the income numbers for other religions, but I can't seem to figure out how, LOL.
