Income distribution of the white vote

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the drop off in the white vote for Obama from 2008 was among whites making more than 50k.

In 2008, the exit polls broke down whites by income and those making less than 50k did vote more Democratic than those making more. Of course a lot of lower income people are younger, so if you control for age I wonder how much of a difference there would be. Of course a large contributor to the heavily Democratic under 50k vote is the Latino and AA vote, no doubt about that.
