I'm curious: how did white *working class* voters split on Prop 8.?

Anyone know where to get stats on that?

I suspect that Prop 8 increased in popularity in inverse proportion to education and income levels. In other words better educated and higher income people ( those two generally go together) tended to vote NO. Less-well educated and lower income people tended to vote YES.

The 30% of AA who voted NO are probably included in group 1... and the 70% who voted YES are probably in group 2. ( assuming of course that the 70-30 exit polls split is accurate)

In other words YES or NO on Prop 8 is probably a function of social *class* and not of ethnicity/race.

That's my theory.... now prove me wrong.
