Voted : Rich people can handle
Rich people can handle change even if the change ends up hurting the economy, they'll end up fine. Poor people aren't willing to take the chance.
Voted : I'm so confused
It's hard to keep up anymore.
Two main reasons Clinton is doing better among the less affluent:
1. Health care - the more affluent are more likely to have private insurance that is employer sponsored. These voters are less affected by lack of coverage, super high deductibles, medicare donut hole (Clinton does better among older voters), etc. This issue is a bigger winner for Clinton as her plan mandates coverage for all (meaning a larger base on which to base coverage) whereas Obama's merely offers it to all.
2. Economy: Once again Clinton wins these voters as a sagging economy affects the less affluent more severely. These voters believe her to be stronger on the economy. Some of this is based on the success of her husband.
Obama's voters are less affected overall by the life or death aspects of these issues. They are able to look at the race from a more distant, idealistic and inspirational side. Nothing wrong with that per se but people will vote for who they think can best address the issues important to them.
Sources please.
Voted : obama is sucking up to the rich
A no brainer.
Voted : stupid people like clinton promises
Bingo!
Voted : I'm so confused
Because I'm severely over-educated and far from affluent, but I'm still in Obama's camp.
FYI, This premise of the ballot did not hold true in Ohio. From MSNBC:
"There was more of a split among whites by education. Those without college educations going overwhelmingly for Clinton with 71% of the vote. The numbers were closer for those with a college education -- where Clinton won by 54% to Obama's 43%."
She also got the majority of male voters, especially white males according to exit polls.
Okay, I see what we have to look forward to on bestandworst for next four years if Clinton is elected. "If we don't think as you think we are stupid."
Also being well educated does not always make that person right, some of the worst mistake in human history were made by so called "well educated people"
Voted : stupid people like clinton promises
Maybe she is appealing to those who need her most, such as the less intelligent (ie, stupid), which is most of us, and "older and less-educated voters, and union members" meaning ordinary Americans.
