I'm not sure where you got this statistic, or its relevancy. If it IS true,
then it says that the more educated you are (dismissing the HS dropouts, who
we can agree are 'uneducated', yes?), the more likely you were to register
emocrat, not necessarily to vote Democrat. Do you have any stats about
the correlation between education level and how people voted
I'd think that the tilt of the college educated (BA and
MA) vote this time went to Kerry. Let me know if you have a source. I'll be
absolutely stunned if the majority of people with college diplomas vote
for
Bush
Try a web search on CNN exit poll 2004,
and it will give the the results.
Contrary to the Democratic myth, the College Educated consistantly vote
Republican, with the exception of Post Graduate degrees. I would find it more
likely that the Post Graduate group identify with the Democratic Party because
of it's heavy ties to the Education Community
(and Teachers Union). If you look at the education as just College Degree, the
vote is split at 49% each. If you add in "Some College", the advantage is again
Republican.
The single biggest indicator of voting preference is still income. If you make
over 50 grand, you tend to vote Republican.
Interesting statistics in this poll.
