The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[schmidlap]

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

​

The disparity is reflected in the allocation of the electoral votes of states.

At the extremes of the best-educated/least-educated continuum and their respective electoral votes:

1) Massachusetts [11]​

​

2) Colorado [10]​

​

3) Maryland [10]​

​

4) Connecticut [07]​

​

5) New Hampshire [04]​

​

6) Vermont [03]​

​

7) Virginia [13]​

​

8] Minnesota [10]​

​

9) Washington [12]​

​

0) New Jersey [14]​

vs

41) Tennessee [11]​

​

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.​

You missed CALIFORNIA, Schmeertap, the state with the third lowest IQ in the union.

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT THE LARGEST CONTIGUOUS AREA OF THE COUNTRY WITH SOME OF THE HIGHEST AVERAGE IQs
ARE ALL THAT DEPLORABLE COUNTRY IN THE MID AND UPPER MIDWEST THAT IS ALL TRUMP COUNTRY---

I had never seen a statewide measurement of IQ

I can see advanced education but IQs are not generally released

It doesn't show up in Google Images search either.

I suspect it's from yet another RWNJ blogsite that no one has ever heard of.

Ya…I wondered about that myself.

So naturally, if YOU don't know about it, it would never occur to you that state IQs can be correlated by average test scores like SATs?

Here, knock yourself out:

Updated IQ and Well-Being Scores for the 50 U.S. States

At the level of the 50 U.S. states, an interconnected nexus of well-being variables exists. These variables strongly correlate with estimates of state IQ in interesting ways. However, the state IQ estimates are now more than 16 years old, and the state ...

PS: If you got off your lazy ass, you would also know that IQ has been correlated by COUNTRY, with the net average IQs of all the countries of the world rated from highest (Japan/Korea/Asia) to the lowest (many African nations).

Thank you, that's beautiful.

So if you all cheat to win again, we have the workmen, the truckers, the farmers, and all the skilled workers.

You have the gender studies professors.

That'll work out great for you, yes?

i merely cite the objective, empirical data,

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

Only top students take the SATs
IQ scores are generally not released, they are not a good measure of true intelligence ……just a measure of how well you take tests

 

[SweetSue92]

i merely cite the objective, empirical data,

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

I think you should trumpet it everywhere, and louder. Say "Remember that Democrat Party that used to be for the 'working man'? Now its for coastal soy boys and washed up hippies who thumb their noses at the working class"

DO IT. It's a winner, doncha think?

 

[schmidlap]

You missed CALIFORNIA, Schmeertap[sic], the state with the third lowest IQ in the union.

I merely provided the empirical data regarding educational attainment in the top and bottom ten states, and am unaware of any studies with pretenses of comparative IQ's.

Someone of my advanced IQ can look at your chart by country and claim Bullshit

IQ is normaly centered around an average of 100. Yet you have few countries above 100

An IQ below 70 is in the mentally retarded range, yet you have whole countries you are claiming as retarded

Your denigration of half the American populace is unfortunate.

Most blue states actually tend toward lower IQs and most red states toward higher IQs. Turns out that big inner cities in blue states tend to have a lot of dumb people in them. You don't find many hoods or harlems out in the country.

But IQs also correlate by REGION. The south (which includes a mix of both red and blue states) tends to have the lowest IQs and the north (both the northeast and the midwest/northern plains) tend to have high IQs.

So there is little correlation between who people vote for and IQ, no matter what leftist bumtaps tell people.

The democrats used to be for the working man, now they make fun of them. Pretty funny your crying after years and years of democrats calling America "flyover country" and "deplorable" as well as Biden calling Trump supporters "domestic terrorists" and Trump himself a /danger/ and /threat/ to democracy. Trump should sue Biden for almost getting him killed.

I have no credible data regarding intelligence quotients, but note your ideological dogma.

I have no dogma nor ideology--- I just get up off my ass and look it up.

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