That reality is why I have a hard time believing the self reported income thing that claims Trump voters make more than Hillary voters and I won't believe it until TAX records are used to verify or destroy that claim. Income statements at a political rally is SELF reported information people, Democrats generally tell the truth, republicans lie about everything generally. Here are some general facts:
Lots of Trump and republican voters are very poor. I see these people driving around or talking their politics daily. Democrats have poor voters too, lots of them.
The highest income locations in the country, big cities and big suburbs generally vote blue by a large margin.
The wealthiest states are the bluest states. Even in red states, the wealthiest areas vote mostly blue.
How can Trump voters earn more when every statistic say that they tend not to live in high income locations? Don't say republicans have more millionaires and billionaires because Democrats have lots and lots of those too.
