You know the mantra, Trump supporters are stupid country bumpkins lacking in income and IQ which is why they support Trump.

To this day I wonder how many Clinton supporters believe that?"

Like this article from December POLLSTERS SHOCKED BY PROFILE OF DONALD TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS

Quote:
The pollsters found that almost 90% of those who have voted for Trump in the polls belonged to the bottom half of the IQ spectrum.

While the pollsters chose not to disclose how they determined the demographics and IQ scores of the poll respondents, they made it absolutely clear that Trump voters had IQ scores ranging from 55 to 85 (mentally inadequate to low intelligence). The average IQ scores of Americans range between 86 and 100.

Finally, we know what’s causing ‘The Donald Phenomenon.’
Wow, I didn't know I was sub IQ.

But I am a little confused here and I was hoping a Hillary supporter could splain this to me.

From FiveThirtyEight The Mythology Of Trump’s ‘Working Class’ Support

Quote:
As compared with most Americans, Trump’s voters are better off. The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived from exit polls and Census Bureau data. That’s lower than the $91,000 median for Kasich voters. But it’s well above the national median household income of about $56,000. It’s also higher than the median income for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters, which is around $61,000 for both.
Median income of Trump supporter is nearly 12% higher than Hillary supporters - so much for the lying lib talking point that Trump supporters are just poor bumpkins.

This is backed up by the Washington Post

The Post-ABC poll

Quote:
In the results of the poll, there was no correlation between incomes and support for Trump among Republican and GOP-inclined independent voters, 34 percent of whom supported the front-runner. That was no surprise, given the data from exit polls. Based on those findings, Five Thirty Eight's Nate Silver has estimated that the average household income among Trump supporters is $72,000 a year, well above the national median.
So is it true when we say voters with more incomes are dumb, stupid and uneducated?

It's really important to liberals to feel superior.

I can build a million dollar house top to bottom but I guess I'm an idiot because I like Trump.

It's simple, just like crooked Hillary supporters.

They think a liberal socialist indoctrination at university's is a quality that makes them superior. When a toilet backs up they call their professor because he is the one that fed them what's clogging it.

The Dems woo people on public support, with little education, and no jobs or minimum wage jobs but then they conveniently forget about them when they brag about how highly educated Dems are. If all Dems are so smart then I guess they no longer need any of their social programs or giveaways.

What does income have to do with voting?

I don't care how much one group makes over another group.

Don't lose focus for this nonsense.


Group "A" earns more than Group "B" - and that's supposed to affect the election in which way?

Earning more money doesn't mean you're smarter than someone else, it only means you earn more money than someone else.

This could just go back and forth for days, months, years...There is intelligent, well spoken, well off people that will be voting for both sides. Of course there will be the unintelligent, ill-informed, brainless twits as well.
