Why is Education Level the Best Predictor of Voting?

[citygator]

You could have a master's degree and still be stupid as a stump

Do you go to doctors with advanced degrees or do you find someone that has street smarts?

 

[bendog]

Education is NOT the only factor that decides how people vote.
That is just more MSM bullshit.

What drives American voters?

Stanford scholars are studying who American voters are, what influences them, and why.

The old truism still holds: "people vote their own wallet" (always have, always will)

Exactly, and children of better off families attend college with less difficulties than those with less, and the more financially well-set up a family was before the recession, most likely the better they were to weather it.

This is true, but less likely. I knew plenty of people that worked full time at Target that were intelligent individuals. I would say it more likely that someone with a higher degree tends to be more informed on multiple subjects, because thats how their work cultures operate.

This is true, but unlikely.

The word is INDOCTRINATED. That is why as young people grow older and more experienced, they wise up and start leaning more conservative Republican.

You provide the example of indoctrination by changing your avatar to a glorified fake picture of trump.

How low have you sunk?

So I guess then that citygator is indoctrinated too? How low as she sunk? Have you seen her superhero Harris in a cape?!!
At least Trump has actually really WORKED at McDonalds.
My picture is the perfect personification of Trump--- like Atlas, he has taken everything you creeps can throw at him for nine years, he even had an assassin's bullet graze his head, and the guy just keeps trucking on.

He IS the HULK of presidents and politicians.

Oh Dear Lord, it took awhile, but it finally happened.
You idolize a politician like a God or a Fictional Character.

Wow, just WOW.

The fault line in politics today is education. If you are more educated you vote democrat, if you are less educated you vote republican. Ironically however, both parties are led by politicians educated at the ivy league schools.

Question: Why is education the single best indicator of voting patterns now?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/politics/the-biggest-predictor-of-how-someone-will-vote/index.html

“The biggest single, best predictor of how someone’s going to vote in American politics now is education level. That is now the new fault line in American politics,” Sosnik told David Chalian on the “CNN Political Briefing” podcast.

Trump’s rise over the past three election cycles, Sosnik argued, “accelerated and completed this political realignment based on education that had been forming since the early ’70s, at the beginning of the decline in the middle class.”

As the US transitions to a 21st century economy, there’s a rift between the people who attain education – “that’s become the basic Democratic Party,” he said, comparing them with people who feel left behind, “that group of voters is now the modern Republican Party base.”

There’s a direct correlation to politics. In 2020, according to CNN’s exit polls, voters with a college degree accounted for 41% of the electorate and they supported President Joe Biden 55% to Trump’s 43%. Trump got the support of about two-thirds of White voters without a college degree, but he lost White college-educated voters.

The democrats attract educated fools with little common sense

Except it has no basis in reality. Harris is champion of blow jobs, that is all.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Say speak of college educated. Should have seen many of the ladies the morning after Trump was elected the first time. Sure lots of degrees, even programmers.

They insisted complete silence. Admin sent email you must not discuss election. Just imagine, in a govt. (Liberal) setting too. We were the silent ones, if Hillary had won popcorn and balloons, mature people can handle it, libs and degrees = pussified.

Women were literally crying and threw fits throughout the day.

I've seen no education run rings around those with degrees, often, same jobs, even STEM. Take your college degrees and suck em. Most of them aren't worth a fuck. There is no replacement for desire, common sense and independence. Degrees often have the affect of the opposite.

Not true.

Michigan voter rolls inflated by 500K. State says it’s no issue. GOP disagrees | Bridge Michigan

Automatic voter registrations with driver license renewals has caused voter registrations to soar. Republicans have sued, but the state says the litigation is part of an effort to sow distrust.

Are you serious, anyone could go in a vote for the people who are registered, people are registered to vote when they are 18 and apply for a license they may not even know they are registered then if no one shows up a duly incarnated scum democrat will simply fill out the ballot! i am sure right now any who didn't vote last time are having their ballot filled out in backrooms

That doesn’t happen. Here are all the voter fraud cases as tracked by the very conservative heritage group. Most are republicans by the way…
