whites with college degrees making over 100K a year

OR

whites without college degrees making under 50K a year

people talk about the divide between whites with degrees and those without but the problem is that you have a lot of rich people who didn't go to college (which is probably 75-25 GOP) and a lot of people with worthless college degrees who are also heavily dem so that kind of skews the picture.

Whites without college degrees making less than 50k. Now change that to 30k and that's where things get more interesting. Usually that demographic is more Democratic but Trump did very well with them. Basically the difference between victory and defeat. Also a demographic that benefitted from Obamacare (and voted to reelect him) and strongly supports Medicare and Social Security as is.

Is there a data source on this? If whites under 50k without degrees were more republican than those above 100k with college degrees I would think 2016 would be the first time that has happened.
