what are you talking about? you presented evidence about some counties with lower educated people swinging towards trump. We already knew trump won because he got some of hillary's democrats in the correct places to win the electoral college by a large margin. That does not mean that democrats do not overwhelm republicans when it comes to high school or lower education. here is a pew poll and a quote from about halfway down the page. http://www.people-press.org/2015/04/07/a-deep-dive-into-party-affiliation/ Democrats hold a 10-point lead in leaned party identification among those with no more than a high school education (47% to 37%).
And that proves what? What's with the selective quoting. Where is the quote about those who didn't pass high school? "Education. Democrats lead by 22 points (57%-35%) in leaned party identification among adults with post-graduate degrees. The Democrats’ edge is narrower among those with college degrees or some post-graduate experience (49%-42%), and those with less education (47%-39%). Across all educational categories, women are more likely than men to affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic. The Democrats’ advantage is 35 points (64%-29%) among women with post-graduate degrees, but only eight points (50%-42%) among post-grad men." Currently, those who have attended college but have not received a degree lean Democratic 47% to 42%; Democrats hold a 10-point lead in leaned party identification among those with no more than a high school education (47% to 37%).
it means exactly what it says. if you did did not finish high school or you finished your education in high school the odds are you are a democrat not a republican. 47 percent to 37 percent.
Nosense, here is Pew poll from 2016 High School or Less - Dem 32%, Repub 34% https://www.npr.org/2016/09/13/4937...college-voters-have-fled-the-democratic-party
According to your data below... the dems still lead by 10 points. (Just as I told you.) The lean dem vs lean republican is 55 dem vs 45 republican. so there was essentially no change in that net number. If you read the pew poll I gave you it said. That most hispanics register as independent but they heavily lean democrat. here is the paragraph from the 2104 poll. "Currently, those who have attended college but have not received a degree lean Democratic 47% to 42%; Democrats hold a 10-point lead in leaned party identification among those with no more than a high school education (47% to 37%)."
Sorry, Mr. jem, but according to the chart, the 1992 split was 55% to 45%. In 2016 it was 32% to 34%.
you are correct I was incorrectly only reading the top of the columns and thought one was for Republican and one was for lean republican. Now I will have to investigate because I seriously doubt we saw a massive swing in 2 years.
I just did the research. I am pretty sure exgoper's chart is not showing what he seems to say it was showing. 34 percent of republicans are h.s or less 35 have some college 31 have more than that. that adds up to 100 percent of republicans level of education. that is not a percentage of the population which leans republican or democrat who have high school or less education. it is the percent of republicans who have that level of education. So it seems exgoper was wrong about what the table was showing.
More precisely, Mr. jem, your numbers categorize education level by party and Mr. exGOPer's categorize party by education level.
