So if the median, or mid-point, of Trump incomes is 72k, and that is close to the US average income, although a rough estimate, it can be safely said that it is unlikely that the majority of Trump voters are affluent.
ETA: Again, 2/3 of Trump voters were under $100k: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/why-trump...ou-might-think How far does 100k get you these days? Is that affluent? (This stat alone refutes the argument that Trump voters trended economically comfortable or affluent.) |
I remember explaining some of how this stuff works to my kinds when they were in grammar school. They got it.
