Most interesting data out of the NH dem exit polling

Much has been made in NH (and Iowa) about the age split in voters for Obama and Clinton. But NH shows some other interesting divisions as well:

Obama gets more support from both those with weekly church attendance (5% over C) and no church attendance (4% over); but Clinton gets 12% more support from those with occasional church attendance.

Clinton gets a startling amount more support from those who believe she has the best chance to win the GE (87%) than the same for Obama (70%).

By education level, Clinton voters outstrip Obama voters in all categories except postgraduate where Obama handily takes 43% of the vote to Clinton's 31%. Clinton leads in the less educated categories, with the greatest spread at the least educated, narrowing as education level increases.

Voters who characterized their families as in worse financial situations favored Clinton over Obama.

The lower the income the more likely a voter was to support Clinton over Obama, except for one category - those earning 150-200k were more likely to support Clinton, even though those immediately above and immediately below that group were more likely to support Obama.

Voters for whom the economy was the most important issue were more likely to vote Clinton, for thos for whom Iraq was the most important issue Obma took the lead. Health care as most important issue was basically tied.

The very rich see the shit from a distance and can predict the long term effects. The very poor feel the effects before anyone.


In August 2001 there was a poll about Bush where the very rich and very poor gave him horrible marks across the board, while the middles were still in love.

What's interesting about the numbers you present is that the education levels split on Hillary / Obama. You'd expect those to match up with the financials.

New Hampshire wants change!

Thanks for yout tin foil injection into this thread.
