My point either went over your head, or you are being willfully ignorant.

Your data doesn’t include SSMs.

What your opinion may be re SSM is irrelevant.

Voter Base by Demographic Group

The facts remain...

Voter Base Data:

Republicans more likely to be married, and the marriage gap indicates that married people are more educated than unmarried people

Republicans earn more than Democrats, and income is correlated to education level.



Red states are some of the poorest, Mississippi being the worse. Income is not correlated to education, it's based on where you live. But education is also important. A person graduating Vanderbilt Law School can make well over $200,000 getting a job in New York. Could they make that in let's say Alabama. Of course not. I use this example because of someone I know.

Incorrect. The parameter is married, or not married. That's it. If a same sex couple is married, they're in the married group. Note that not all married persons vote Republican, but a majority of them do.

Quote:
"The relationship between education and income is strong. Education is often referred to as an investment in human capital. People invest in human capital for similar reasons people invest in financial assets, including to make money. In general, those with more education earn higher incomes (see the table)."

Be sure to read the referenced table. There are significant differences in average income between groups that align with education level.

This isn't surprising.

Overall marriage is a good thing but the 50 percent divorce rate is a bit scary

Not sure what you mean by poorest, but California has the highest poverty rate in the US.

Marriage.

Parenthood (not involving welfare or government subsidies)

Small business ownership.

Gun ownership.

Home ownership.

Older age.

Rural residency.

These are all predictors of peope tending toward Republican/conservative voting trends.



On the welfare dole.

Having out of wedlock children.

LGBTQPDU affiliation.

Youth.

Academia.

Abortion proponents.

Fear of guns or being gun control advocates.

Childlessness.

Paying low or no taxes.

Renting residence.

Urban residency.

High level of consumer debt.

These are all predictive of liberal/Democrat voting tendencies.

I kinda agree with the one poster that Dems are the outcasts of society.

Lower levels of education

Nobody wants to marry them

They typically hate themselves

They make less money than republicans
