Very interesting stuff, thanks Progressive Realist. Smiley It seems the correlation between wealth and vote is slightly higher than it was in 2008 (which is understandable). The crossing of graduation and income data is also interesting (the "no HS degree" chart is pretty weird. The statistical significance of these subsamples might be pretty limited though...

Do you mean income? Income and wealth, of course, are not the same. Wink

Whites who graduated only high school swung Republican in 2008, and seemingly significantly? Not entirely sure how accurate that is.

Why? Doesn't that fit the description of a lot of people in, say, Appalachia and much of the South?
