1. He also won the over 60 vote.

2. The myth is the exit polls

notoriously wrong this campaign season.

But, please trust CNN, they've been so honest about the Bush administration, haven't they?

7. ok so depeit the numbers of voters Peopleunder $50 K are voing how precisely?

[sloppyjoe25s]

8. Well... not perfect but still a data point

It's the same data that has shown Hillary doing so well among Latinos earlier (Nevada, California)

So this is at least as valid as that data.

Do you think CNN willfully slants it's exit polls one way or another?

3. He won me over

and I made 11k last year. Oh wait, it's because I'm part of a cult :eyes:

4. What's the median income in Virginia?

Just curious. For instance, how would that compare with under 50K voters in California? Is a 50K voter in Virginia poorer or richer than one in New York? It's kind of an arbitrary number without context.

6. good questions... not sure

THat is at a level of detail the exit polls don't go to.

9. Then it doesn't mean anything.

In Mississippi, for example, that would currently be a high median income. In California, it would be very low.

11. I forgot - nothing means anything or counts if Obama does it

my bad...

13. That's what the loudmouths claim..

the loud hand full who are jealous and acting out.

14. Virginia median income is GREATER THAN California - so this is VERY meaningful

About $66K in Virginia - About $64K in California

So you have proved my point!

This result is at least - if not more - significant than Hillary winning the under $50K vote in California. Which is what she touts as her "Strength with lower income voters".

Myth Quashed - facts can be such a pain in the arrssss...
