2004 Presidential Election Demographics

[sthelen]

I am a marketing professor and find that when I use examples from the election my students really listen. I would like to provide them with the demographics (age, gender, party, income) of who voted in the last presidential election so that they can compare to the general population. 

Can anyone provide me with a link or source for this election?

Thank you!

We live in Nassau County and I instruct at Hofstra University. I enjoyed the conversation about LI statehood but don't think that it is possible or wise - taxes are high enough already. New York is already two states - Upstate and NYC metropolitan area. LI geography is different from the LI mindset but many people from Queens and Brooklyn are moving out here to avoid the high property costs there. Which is pushing property values and taxes very high here but no one can tell what happens to all of the money. One of the biggest problems is LI is starting to have educated and skilled young people leave the area because of the cost of living.

Working at an University I find a lot of people to be democrats but many of the business people to be republicans with most people voting pary-line.  Maintaining a status of "independent" is very suspicious to everyone.
