Kind of like the other chart discussion, I believe that oversimplifies things. For example, in the post grad voters, how many are working in practical fields versus are professional students or are in theoretical fields? The same with ‘high school only’. How many of those are just regular working Americans or those with trade degrees or apprenticeships versus those who are stereotyped as poorly educated? A very general chart like this, more often than not, can actually distort facts more than it reveals them. There are far too many variables within the three choices to say that it is due to a level of intelligence or a level of indoctrination.

..and let’s not even get into what percent may have lied to the pollster.

Looks like that was from a Gallup poll.

Yeah, I would be interested to know where & how they sampled people, and how many.

Another interesting stat from the same poll: People with only a grade school education voted 67% Obama, 33% McCain.
