Differences between white rich Dems and white rich GOP

[All Along The Watchtower]

Rich white Republicans: There are more of them, and they are more likely to be self-employed/business owners, managers, executives, basically involved in private sector and/or for-profit enterprises. Also, they are well-represented in cities, suburbs, and rural areas alike*. Other demographics that lean GOP overall also make individual rich whites more likely to vote Republican (ie married, high levels of religiosity/regular church attendance, older, more male than female, etc.)

Rich white Democrats: They are more likely to hold post-graduate and/or professional degrees, more likely to work for the government or in corporate fields that deal heavily with the government, the non-profit sector and many of the professions, and this is particularly true in urban areas (where many of them are concentrated). Overall a younger, more secular, more female-than-male, more religiously diverse crowd (a lot of Reform Jews, as well as the secular children of mainline Protestants and cafeteria Catholics, in addition to a good number of those groups themselves). Also more diverse in terms of family structure and sexual orientation....

*based on rich voters in Democratic states being more mixed, while rich voters in swing states being lean Republican and rich voters in Republican states being strongly Republican, overall (See the work of Andrew Gelman for some fascinating analysis).
