From posted article:

Bush's message is helping him gain ground among lower middle income and less well-educated voters ambivalent about his economic record - but costing him with more affluent and better-educated families that have historically supported Republicans. Strikingly, Bush leads Kerry among lower- and middle-income white voters - but trails the Democrat among whites earning at least $100,000 a year.

Bush also runs best among voters without college degrees, while Kerry leads not only among college-educated women (a traditional Democratic constituency), but among college-educated men - usually one of the most reliably GOP groups in the electorate.

<snip>

While Bush and Kerry run within the survey's margin of error among both men and women, the poll finds a huge "marriage gap." Married voters, who traditionally take more conservative positions on social issues, give Bush a 12-percentage point lead, while singles (usually more liberal on social and economic issues) prefer Kerry by 20.

<snip>

The president dominates among white voters earning from $40,000 to $60,000 a year and from $60,000 to $100,000; he wins about three-fifths of each group.

Whites earning $40,000 a year or less split closely between Kerry (46%) and Bush (50%). Among white voters, Kerry leads only among those earning at least $100,000 a year - who prefer him over Bush by 52% to 45%.
