I'll say he grabs about 40% to 50%  of the votes in this demographic.

For reference, in the 2008 exit polls, McCain won whites under $50 000, 51-47. Not sure if that counts as "working class," but it's as close as the exit polls get.


That were I'm getting when it comes to what I believe is white working class.

I do think that Romney might underperform with this demographic (though he might overperform with higher-income whites). Neither Obama  nor Romney is exactly the dream candidate for appealing to the white working class, though.

The higher income whites will be split demographic if both Romney and Obama are the nominations.
