How did this happen?

(I'd call him something like moderate christian socialist).

Man, you are going to burn for even suggesting that...

I would wager that even economic liberalism is more popular (though not as dramatically as social liberalism), among the highly educated once income is controlled for.

But to do that would be pointless, utterly pointless as the (main) reason why poorer people usually support leftish economic policies is because of their economic position (and vice versa, obviously).

More interesting might be to look at just high-to-higher income voters and compare their views to their levels of education.

Hey, in Germany one of the big right-populist parties is the Christian Socialist Union .

Christian Social Union. Not Christian Socialist Union. The CSU is many things, but Socialist it isn't.
