(Other) Numbers I want to share

More exit polling fun.

Why stop with educational attainment? Let's make armchair conclusions about the characteristics of each candidate's supporters based on income levels...



VOTE BY INCOME

Under $15,000 (8% of total) Bush 36% Kerry 63%

$15-30,000 (15%) Bush 42% Kerry 57%

$30-50,000 (22%) Bush 49% Kerry 50%

$50-75,000 (23%) Bush 56% Kerry 43%

$75-100,000 (14%) Bush 55% Kerry 45%

$100-150,000 (11%) Bush 57% Kerry 42%

$150-200,000 (4%) Bush 58% Kerry 42%

$200,000 or More (3%) 63% n/a 35% 1%




Less Than $50,000 (45% of total ) Bush 44% Kerry 55%

$50,000 or More (55%) Bush 56% Kerry 43%


Now these results should be fun...



VOTE BY GENDER

Male (46% of total) Bush 55% Kerry 44%

Female (54%) Bush 48% Kerry 51%

To quote another about such things...


I think these numbers speak largely for themselves.

Clueless in St James's

Last week we published a list that purported to show the IQs of states voting for George Bush and Al Gore in 2000. Alas, we were the victim of a hoax: no such data exists. By way of apology, here are two very crude ratings of states' intelligence—and how they voted.

[Marcus Bryant]

Interesting how the intellectual superiority of Kerry supporters doesn't seem to necessarily translate into economic success. But I'm sure there's a bogus study available to answer that observation too.

Also, if you are a Kerry supporter in a "red state" then you must be a dumb motherfucker.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes, It's hard to believe that the people who benefit from the Bush tax plan support him so much.

Post Grad Studies made up 17 percent of the electorate, whats the percentage of peopel over 100k a year? 3?

[Clandestino]

well, everyone got some tax relief. it is normal that if you didn't pay much taxes you wouldn't get much relief.

[MannyIsGod]

Actually, upon further review of those numbers, what it tells me is that people over 50k mark have a large influence on the election because they actually go out and vote. They made up a larger percentage of the electorate than they make of the general population.

The bottom line is that these people keep putting people who serve them first in power, but untill the rest of the population decides to step in and actually partake inthe electoral process this will not change.

Ice, nice link, but I can prove that page is a fake...

Simply put...

I know that page is fake because anyone who supported Kerry is a dumbass...anyone who doesn't realize why supporting Kerry made them a dumbass, is an even bigger dumbass.

Even on this board, while not all Kerry supporters were true dumbasses, I think it's safe to say that the majority were. I think we can all agree on this.

Further proof that all the IQ in the world doesn't prevent someone from being a dumbass...

That type of page will make even more people support Bush..that type of elitist, I'm better than you, snob attitude, is why Bush won this election....

Which makes idiots who think that type of page is going to help their candidate beat Bush, or help get their goals achieved, or spread their world view, even bigger dumbasses. It does just the opposite.


I think I saw a page that shows an inordinate amount of Kerry supporters are pussies who are now trying to get out of the country...must go hand in hand with being smarter than the rest...by all means...leave. This country is a lost cause for the smart people and their bitching is only going to make things worse...a smart person would realize this.

not everyone benefitted from the tax plan??

Ask my workers who were able to get bigger bonuses and raises in pay thanks ot the tax cuts.

Once again, ignorance is bliss..
