Under $30k: 53%-41% DEM ... 17% of the population
$30k-$49k: 51%-42% DEM ... 19% of the population
$50k-$99k: 50%-46% GOP ... 30% of the population
$100k-$199k: 48%-47% GOP ... 24% of the population
$200k-$249k: 49%-48% GOP ... 4% of the population
$250k and Above: 48%-46% GOP ... 6% of the population
This is a beautiful chart *sniff*. If only we could tie the $50k-99k in exchange for the $200+
If I didn't feel the need to constantly point out Non-Swing Voter's WILLFUL ignorance of the coalitions and how they vote, though, I would be able to make the point about those percentages at the end of each line ... NO party that has EVER been successful relies on just affluent voters. The GOP of the '80s that was winning affluent voters by even more than they do now was still the party of rural Northern farmers and moralists. That's the whole point of a coalition. If you took JUST "latte liberals" and added them to all minorities who vote, Democrats would get about 30% of the vote. Similarly, if you took rich Whites and added them to evangelicals, Republicans would get a laughably small slice of the national vote. There are WAY more groups in both coalitions that never get talked about, and both are broad.
Democrats who proudly claim they're a party of the upper-middle class/or should be are idiots and should go into their sheltered holes.
