Florida exit poll breakdown by education. I've been wondering about the urband legend bandied about after every election. The idea was that the IQ of the GOP supporters are X notches below that of the DEMs. Looking at the now discredited exit-poll for florida for just entertainment purposes, we have this : Bush Kerry No High School (3%) 45% -2 53% 1% H.S. Graduate (20%) 48% +6 51% 0% Some College (34%) 51% +2 48% 0% College Graduate (27%) 56% n/a 44% 0% Postgrad Study (15%) 53% +1 45% 1% This piece of juicy statistics once again blows away that piece of urban legend. In fact people with postgrad degrees went for Bush by 8 pts while the less-educated chose Kerry by a similar 8 pt margin. If you examine the OHIO exit poll breakdown, a similar patterns exists in the vote breakdown by education. It's time this piece of juicy trivia is entered into snopes. cnn.com cnn.com
