What white, non-hispanic, non-Muslim demographics tend to vote Democratic? What similarities and differences exist among them? For example, what similarities and differences exist between the tendencies of college student feminists and those of doctors who perform abortion?

White non-hispanic Catholics tend to vote democratic since they tend to be more educated and concentrated in urban areas than the county as a whole.

What white, non-hispanic, non-Muslim demographics tend to vote Democratic?

I think a couple earlier posters missed the bolded part of OP's post. Anyway, compared to Republicans, non-Hispanic white Democrats are more likely to be/have:

*Liberal (or at least not conservative)
*Female
*LGBT
*Not Christian (and especially not evangelical Protestant)
*Unmarried
*College education (and especially graduate education)
*Under 30
*Union membership
*Live in an urban core area
*Live in a major metro area
*Not live in a rural area
*Not live in the South
*Not be a veteran

For white voters only, I'm curious about the relationship between income and partisanship. The overall trend is for higher income to make one more Republican, and higher education to make one more Democratic, but I'm curious how this plays out among white voters only.

My instinct is that very poor and very rich whites tend to vote Democratic and those in the middle tend to vote Republican, in aggregate.

I'm not sure this is true of poor whites anymore, at least controlling for age (if not controlling for age, poor whites are probably fairly Democratic, but only because incomes and assets are lower in your 20s than in your 50s).

Defining "very rich" is tough, too. If we're defining it as the top 10% or so of incomes (i.e., low six figures), probably those voters are fairly Democratic. If we're defining it as, say, the top 0.01% of incomes (where you're getting into well into seven-figure annual incomes), that group is probably still very Republican, even if less Republican than it used to be. And then there's a clear sliding scale between the two groups.

Unmarried white women are probably the biggest Democratic demographic, outside of African-Americans.

I'd say that's true of those with postgraduate education who work in government, education or healthcare.

Young white female unmarried servers I know in suburban Detroit are about evenly split between D and R-- an indication, perhaps, that neither party really "gets" this demographic.

There's no question there are regional and rural/suburban/urban disparities. But in general, unmarried white women are more likely to vote Democratic than Republican. Certainly as compared to married white women.

Maybe, depending on where you place the cutoff ... but Republicans still win the top income bracket, usually, and it’s not like that’s because of the support of wealthy minorities.

Demographically, I'm sure people would assume my late father was a Republican by looking at his statistics: upper 70s white retiree who watches 4 hours a day of cable news. Except he watched MSNBC instead of Fox and was a diehard Democrat.

Didn't realise we were living in the 1940s...

How about the very top?  What can we say about the R/D split among US citizens on the Forbes list, at least based on public endorsements and donation records?  My guess is it's no more than a 60R/40D split and may be closer than that.  I think it's entirely plausible Hillary Clinton won the Forbes list vote.

Absolutely no chance Clinton won the Forbes list vote or even came particularly. Read past the top few names and you'll quickly see why.
