[All Along The Watchtower]

I'll start.

Race: White
Personal Income: $55,000/year
Educational Level: Associate's degree
Religion: Methodist (attends church once every other week, roughly)
Occupation: Store franchise manager
Age: 42
Marital status: Married with two children (ages 12 and 10)
Location: Joliet, Illinois

[All Along The Watchtower]

Lean Republican

Race: Hispanic
Personal Income: $38000/year
Educational Level: High School
Religion: Catholic
Occupation: Construction Worker
Age: 39
Marital status: Married, 2 children
Location: El Paso, TX

Socially moderate-to-conservative, economically populist working-class Democrat.

Gender: Female
Race: White
Personal Income: $83,000/year
Educational level: Graduate degree
Religion: Episcopalian (rarely attends church)
Occupation: Assistant vice president at financial firm
Marital status: Married, no kids
Age: 32
Location: New York, NY

Hmm. Probably a Libertarian or Conservative. He could either be an Independent or a Republican. Either way  he's on the right side of the spectrum.

Race: Asian
Personal Income: $260,000/year
Educational Level: M.D.
Religion: Buddhist  
Occupation: Neurosurgeon
Age: 43
Marital status: Married, 1 elementary school kid
Location: Katy, Texas

Probably Pub. Surgeons tend to be Pubs, and that trumps the Asian (what kind of Asian - Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese (more clearly Pub then), Korean?) Buddhist thing. And it's Texas. If he were a Lib, he wouldn't choose to live in Katy, Texas (Houston exurb) methinks. Nor would I of course.  Katy, Texas seems way too down market for the guy however. He must save a lot of money, particularly given that Texas has no income tax.

Nobody ever specified this surgeon was male.

Yelnoc's seems like about as close to a combination of every Democratic base vote you can get--a secular Californian union worker--except for the white male factor. Despite the higher-than-median income and nuclear family this guy would almost definitely be on the left.

Gender: Female
Race: Asian
Personal income: $88,000/annum
Education level: Master's degree
Religion: Catholic
Occupation: Geology teacher at a community college
Age: 55
Marital status: Married with five children and three grandchildren
Location: Highland Park, New Jersey

Generally socially liberal, but with tinges of cultural conservatism, due to a combination of being Asian (though 'Culturally conservative" means something different here, of course), Catholic, and married with children and grandchildren. On the other hand, due to her being a female member of a racial minority group with an advanced education, I would guess she would possibly be strongly liberal. She's in a Democratic NJ district, so that could be. Her income alone isn't much of an indicator here, or not as strong as other indicators.

Gender: Male
Race: White
Education Level: Doctorate (thanks Nathan )
Religion: lapsed Catholic, currently no religious affiliation
Occupation: clinical psychologist
Age: 49
Marital status: Married with two children, ages 17 and 15
Location: Long Beach, California

[All Along The Watchtower]

Race: White
Personal income: Retired but earned at one point 50,000 a year
Education level: Trade School
Religion: Baptist (went to church because his wife made him)
Occupation: started out as a textile worker and moved his way up to manager
Age: 80
Marital status: Married with 4 grown children
Location: Edgefield, SC

Views on issues: NAFTA was the warst thing that ever happened to this country in mah laftime. I remember when I was in high school where any schmuck could get a well paying job and live in a ranch house, his wife wouldn't have to work and they could be comfortably middle class. I thought droppin' an a-bomb on them would have made them leave us alone. But them g--ks never stop an' now they stealing all our gidjawbs.

Old-time Dixiecrat, possibly a Perot supporter in the 90s.

Race: White
Personal income: $30,000 per year.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Religion: Lapsed Catholic
Occupation: Television Reporter
Age: 25
Marital Status: Engaged
Location: Syracuse, NY

Age, religion, and college degree suggest a liberal disposition, though that may have changed if they've spent enough time out of college and what news network they work for. Being engaged is neutral, but may suggest a less rebellious attitude. I would guess a moderately liberal but somewhat establishmentarian persuasion, probably a Cuomo fan.

This is based on someone I know; I'm curious to see how close you guys get. I did change a few details.

Gender: Female
Race: White
Personal income: $40,000

I'm gonna guess, if he's political at all, Democrat given he's young, non-religious, and from San Francisco.

Btw you pretty much nailed the person from my previous post. She votes republican in local elections a lot and has only voted republican for president 3 times since 1972 (1980, 1984, 2008).

^Democrat with traditionalist cultural values, but maybe willing to vote on occasion for a "respectable" Republican-one that really values education, is accepting of at least some diversity, and isn't a Christian Right type. Overall, though, being a young professional woman leads me to think she would be a pretty strong Democrat.

Lifelong partisan Democrat, voted for Obama both times and Sanders in the 2016 primary, could have gone either way (Trump or Clinton) in 2016, left the presidential ballot blank, or stayed home entirely.
