    Thing is that you can actually sort this for Trump v Clinton margin of victory and get a similar list.

    Yes, she won the educated vote, now we know why GOP targets higher education while they literally drown in religious propaganda.

    for a long time now have been more registered democrats who have high school or lower education than republicans... (although the gap is closing as many now identify as independent.

    yet we see garbage propaganda from dnc trolls.

    This is the exact same lie that you repeated previously, I proved you wrong and you went ahead and made a mockery of yourself by conflating 1992 figures as current numbers.

    exgoper you ridiculous low info poster you don't even understand what we went on to post in that thread.


    I told you in that thread you misrepresented or misunderstood what you were posting. go back and read the rest of the thread you dnc low info poster. pay attention to what I wrote and then Mr. Poindexter made it very clear.

    Now.. go read the pew poll from 2106. You will see democrats still have more registered voters with high school or less education.

    Its so ironic... I give you truth and you call it lies because you don't accept truth into your twisted dnc slanted big brother world view.

    What went on that thread was that you got called out by your fellow right wingers on how dumb your reading was of the poll

    So he is lying too now? Every one is lying except you because you refuse to read?

    Even taking your '2106' poll over the earlier 2016 poll by the same outfit, it's within the margin of error.

    The issue is about TRENDS which you refuse to see and is pretty self evident from the chart you misread.

    From the Pew poll

    While Republicans lean heavily on this group of non-college whites, at the other end of the education spectrum, college-educated white Americans — and college-educated Americans in general — are growing more and more Democratic.

    And you completely ignored the 538 study which showed lack of education as a predictor for Trump support. It was on a county by county basis so obviously you ignored it.

    1. first of all I see at both links (yours and mine) the data comes from a pew poll taken from Jan through Aug 2106. So if those articles are correct you were wrong saying one was citing an earlier 2016 poll. (unless the articles were mixing and matching polls which I doubt.) So until proven otherwise you were wrong there.


    2. Your chart was showing education level within democrat leaners.
    That does say there are fewer high school or lower educated democrats vs republicans. In fact when you read other parts of the poll you see that high school or lower democrats still outnumber republicans.

    So when you go around acting like democrats are more educated than republicans you are the one misrepresenting reality.


    3. In short you are wrong and you were a douche for calling me a liar in this thread above.
    A decent self respecting person would apologize.

    4. the 538 poll was interesting but not very probative considering we all know that a lot of union democrats crossed over and voted for trump.

  10. Athough I’m not one who spends a good part of my life looking for statistics to cherry-pick or to create statistics to promote an inaccurate conclusion, I wonder of the Leftists that actually work, work for conservative business owners or executives versus conservatives working for liberal owned or managed businesses?
