The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[Carl in Michigan]

i merely cite the objective, empirical data,

You can inflict whatever ideological dogma upon it that you need to.

You also have the ghetto class. Funny how you leave that out

If you wish to discuss your "ghetto class," what prevents you?

Strong ghetto class in Wayne county. They're willing to create ballots out of nowhere for a 40 oz

The old….All tax cuts pay for themselves myth

If you cut taxes and revenues increase...wouldn't it be correct to say that the tax cuts paid for themselves?

Strong ghetto class in Wayne county.

That is the TRUTH.

Between White Americans who support Harris or Trump, the disparity in college education is an even more significant factor than age or gender.

The Most and Least Educated States in America, Ranked

Though much debate exists around the education system in the U.S., one thing is for sure: The future of the country lies in our youth, and our ability to educate them.

Of course, age and gender are also major demographic factors.

Harris is trouncing Trump among young voters in the latest polls​

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Thursday found young people swung a massive 24 points between June and August, from favoring Trump over President Biden by 11 points to picking Harris over Trump by 13 points.​

More Voters, Especially Women, Now Say Abortion Is Their Top Issue​

Trump is shifting his stance on reproductive rights, but voters, by a wide margin, say that they trust Kamala Harris on the issue.​

Not sure if you're aware, janitors and rocket scientists are all afforded an equal right to vote. I'm not aware if any of your 'demographics' are anywhere in the COTUS.

Not sure if you're aware, janitors and rocket scientists are all afforded an equal right to vote. I'm not aware if any of your 'demographics' are anywhere in the COTUS.

I have neither questioned any American's right to vote, nor the equality of their votes. (Unlike the fake hillbilly who thinks breeders' votes should count for more.) Nor have I commented upon the relative qualifications for knowledgeably voting.

The stark disparity between the best-educated states and least-educated states is an objective reality - without needing to be judgmental.

best-educated states

Well, see, you're not anywhere near 'educated' and have no idea of the disparity in the first place.

Full of yourself is what you're trying to say after going full Hillary, disparaging 'the other' voters.....you know, the deplorable's....

 

[Stryder50]

Education level is kinda pointless anymore when you consider all the useless degrees people get that they can't pay for.

More to the point, if they didn't grasp what borrowed money meant in terms of repayment, if they got degrees that have no market for employment, if they fail to grasp basic economics enough to realize they are responsible for the debt they incurred, then:
Their degree shows no correlation to intelligence, maturity, intellect, or value to the employment market or society in general.

They may have a lot of schooling, but they got no education.

It's typical product of modern 'education', an amoral halfwit with high self-esteem running around making dumbass pronouncements they get from sociopaths and commies.

No, they just warm seats and parrot rubbish, then get A's and participation trophies.

An “amoral halfwit with high self-esteem”

Well said

And very true for many libs graduating from American and Euro universities

I have made no reference to my personal academic achievement, nor do I pretend to know or care about yours. That would be childish.

I cite the objective disparity:

You may wish to ask yourself why you need to pretend that I have disparaged anyone's vote when you cannot cite my ever having done so.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It is always fun to watch the remedial leftists trying to equate intelligence with party affiliation.

You see, they never received any positive feedback for their intelligence in school, so are trying desperately to find a way to assuage their damaged ego.

No pretending, pretty obvious where this comment was pointing:

No pretending, pretty obvious where this comment was pointing:

You appear to be confused.

I pointed out a significant demographic factor in voting patterns with no qualitative judgment whatever.

Academic attainment is but one indicator - as is age, as is gender, as is race, as is religion.

A new poll by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School shows that among 18-to-29-year-olds nationwide, Harris holds a 31-point lead over Trump among likely voters in a multi-candidate matchup.​

​

The gender gap is widening... among likely female voters, Harris leads by 70% to 23%.​

[]Harvard Poll Finds Harris Has 31 Point Lead Over Trump Among Young Voters]​

​

Race is also a significant distinguishing factor:

Harris leads Trump by almost 40 points among Asian American​

More Black Americans are certain to vote for Harris​

​

Poll: Kamala Harris leads with Hispanic voters in Florida​

​

Harris leads Trump among Hispanic voters in Arizona​

​

Religious affiliation is yet another notable metric:

Sweeping majority of American Jews favour Harris over Trump​

Conversely, older, less-educated, white male evangelicals prefer Trump by a wide margin.
