Shifting Education Levels In Political Parties Could Explain Voter Turnout



The GOP is trading people who vote more frequently for people who vote less frequently, while the Democrats are doing the opposite — and that trade-off may be magnified in midterm elections.

  1. Can't fix stupid democraps

  2. "Highly Educated" has become synonymous with "Indoctrinated" and "Resistant to Common Sense". Electricians, plumbers and carpenters possess more independent and critical thinking ability than most of the so-called Highly Educated. Is AOC highly educated? She graduated from BU and one of her majors were Economics. She was unable to figure out that 800,000 of 4,000,000 is 20%.during the "F" the landlords scheme. Do you know who could… rather quickly too? My 8 year old grandson… no pencil and paper required. I guess math is just not a prerequisite for a Bachelors Degree in "Economics" at BU. Which explains why she ultimately chose a career path of "Activism."

  3. Ignorant people are easily manipulated.
    That's why Republicans fear education.
    Republicans are easily manipulated.

  4. Trump is the antichrist

  5. This is a misleading presentation of the numbers. The real story is that educated people increasingly vote with democrats. Instead, the presentation of these numbers implies that democrats are increasingly well educated, and republicans are becoming less likely to get a degree. It's kindof right, but implies causality in the opposite direction than what common sense would tell us is going on.

  6. There's not as many smart people in America as there are stupid people that's why I say Republicans will win

  7. THE IRS WANTS TO BE THE RIGHT HAND OF THE DOJ AND FBI. WAIT FOR IT PEOPLE

  8. THE ONLY THING SHE GOT RIGHT WAS TRUMP IS NOT ON THE MIDTERM BALLOT. THE REST WAS FAKE NEWS

  9. ignorance votes republican…
    educated vote democrat…

  10. Most Trump supporters couldn't pass the citizenship test.

  11. Don’t call education it is Indoctrination

  12. Education makes all the difference in the country.

  13. This gives me hope in a more bright and fair future for America 💙

  14. Yeah listen to deep state control media

  15. Basically Trump make ppl dumber 🙄 🤣

  16. You should be required to pass an IQ test before you can register to vote.

    You should be made to obtain a security clearance before you can run for public office at the federal level.

  17. National Sport for US is "Elections" not NFL or NBA

  18. Oh I see what you’re doing here….Priming for the upset- the Dems magically defy the polls and win the midterms…… Republicans – how did this happen? Well you know your people just don’t vote, there are 25% more voters that are College grads and blah, blah, blah. I sure can’t tell who NBC is backing🙃

  19. Republicans will get angry at these graphs and numbers. Not because they understand. Because there's numbers.

  20. Republicans wage War on Education because only the dumbest most ignorant people fall for their feeble desperate rhetoric.

  21. Please my fellow Americans!!!! Vote blue 💙 save our country it's up to us to save our country..don't let it go up in flames!!!!!

  22. We should not confuse education with intelligence.

  23. This means they should at least graduate from kindergarten🥳🛀🥱

  24. …Marketing…Trump is unprofitable…
