Traditionally, Republicans had been the party of more affluent voters, but as the GOP continues to move in a more populists direction, and Democrats gain with college educated voters, this seems to be changing. According to most exit polls, pretty much every income bracket was a net wash, with a little fluctuation here and there depending upon your source. It's interesting because we're in a time where income-inequality is at a high and where there is a general distain for the rich from just about everyone. Do you think people's income actually influenced how they voted?

Voters were more influenced by education level than income.  And education level does not necessarily relate to income.  Teachers and librarians often have masters degrees but moderate income.  The owner of a successful car dealership might only have a high school diploma but a six-figure income.
