Reply #35: Yep, there's a strong correlation between being more educated and being more liberal

Studies have shown that there's a fairly strong correlation between how educated you are, and how liberal you are. Certainly this correlation isn't 100%,

It's because of that well educated, fairly wealthy, white working professionals have been becoming more and more democratic lately. The most ironic part about this is that many decades ago you know what was the GOP's strongest base of support (even if they were small in numbers)? Well educated fairly wealth white working professionals, that just goes to show how much the GOP has fallen in terms of attracting the educated.

Plus take a look at the richest and poorest states. Generally you'll find that the richest states (tending to be in the New England area) are generally much more democratic. At the same time the poorer states (see a lot of the deep south, like Mississippi), are generally much more republican.
