The graph proved their point though didn’t it? You can argue it’s not a significant difference but clearly there is a difference. I’ve seen a variety of different sources demonstrating this phenomena, it seems clear to me that lower income people have been increasingly identifying as Republicans in recent years, and wealthy people increasingly vote Democratic. From what I’ve seen it is only in the most wealthy and well educated parts of the country where Democrats have consistently increased their support over the past three election cycles. The rest of the country it is mostly the opposite. Trumpism and the MAGA cult have really transformed the Republican party, they have grown this whole new constituency of working class people that used to not vote much and tended to vote Democratic when they did. Now those people are mostly reliable Republicans who live in a fantasy world of propaganda and hate Democrats.
You can see though that its not split 50/50 and that higher income people went for Harris, i.e. “wealthier people were less likely to vote for Trump”. As I said in my previous comment, you can argue it’s not a significant difference given how small it is but it is very obviously there. I personally think it is significant given how tight elections are and that its been a sustained trend for a number of years now.
I do have another Lemmy account on Beehaw but I never use it, otherwise this is my only Lemmy account. Why do you ask?
100k for the family isn’t very high, especially in places like California. Im curious how it would look if you added a $200k, $500k, $1m tier to the survey.

It didn’t prove anything other than it’s split no matter what your income level is. Is this your ALT account?
