How will 2012 compare to 2008 based on income groups?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Here's 2008.



As you can see, Obama basically won the lowest-income groups up to $50k in income. McCain won voters with incomes of between $50k and $200k, but Obama actually won voters with incomes of $200k or above.

Interesting thoughts.

Though higher educated (like graduate degree) Americans are roughly 50/50 overall in terms of partisan preference, and that is often correlated with higher income,  there is still considerable correlation to higher income people voting Republican.

If you compare two people of the same educational background, but Person A has a higher income than Person B, then Person A is more likely to vote Republican than Person B.
