While the democratic party definitely embodies liberal elitism in some ways, this shows that the commonly claimed “poor people vote Trump” really isn’t true.

Rich and Poor people seem to prefer Harris by a small margin, while middle class seems to support Trump.

    An interesting poll, but note that the sample size is only 5k. If you click on the link, other questions had 22k respondents. So these results are more accurately described as a poll based on people who were willing to divulge their income to an exit poll.

      Yep definitely. Non-reponse bias is and will always be an issue in the polling industry, though exit polls have tended to be quite accurate historically as they tend to he conducted physically and have far higher response rates than the usual, telephone/online opinion polls.
