In Ohio, Bernie Sanders support increases as incomes rise

Senator Bernie Sanders has made income inequality a cornerstone of his campaign, but in Ohio, he received his highest vote margins among the wealthiest voters.

Among those with family incomes over $100,000 per year, Mr. Sanders outpolled Hillary Clinton by nearly 10 percentage points. Middle-income voters, with incomes between $50,000 and $100,000, split evenly between the two candidates.

Voters in families earning less than $50,000 per year sided decisively with Mrs. Clinton.
