Biden kept Clinton's lead among poorer voters, did better among richer voters

[Recursion]

From the 2020 national exit polls by Edition Research (15590 interviews, including mail-in voters):

Households under $50K: Biden 55 / Trump 44
Households between $50K and $100K: Biden 57 / Trump 42
Households over $100K: Biden 42 / Trump 54

The 55/44 split on households making under $50K is about where Clinton landed in 2016. The 42 / 54 among rich households is slightly worse than Clinton did.

The big improvement was in the $50K - $100K demographic, which I have trouble calling the "working class" since it's entirely from the richer half of the country. But that's the demo Clinton lost and Biden won.

1. Don't put too much stock into exit polls right now.

Not even counting the trouble trying to coalesce the discrepancy in in-person voting and mail-in voting specific to this year, exit polls in general aren't really finalized until a couple of months after the election, once they can be properly adjusted to reflect the final composite of the electorate.

2. $50-100K is low middle class in NJ, where adjusted poverty is $29K for a single person.

It sucks, but as a state that is paying for all of the socialist mooching red states, we take the hit.

3. My sister and her husband live in NJ

They are both in show business, so at the moment they make zero, but in a good year, they might have pulled in $60,000. A fifth of that went in property taxes alone. They scraped by, but had little left over for any fun. They are living on savings now

4. Biden is not a smart, fierce WOMAN. And he didn't have 40 years of attacks and lies

to fight thru.
