Is Hillary's Support based upon the less educated?

Analysis: Clinton and Obama start anew By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer Wed Feb 6, 4:07 AM ET After a month of early contests — from Iowa to New Hampshire to Nevada to South Carolina — the two candidates have essentially divided the electorate into two component parts. He gets YOUNG VOTERS, EDUCATED VOTERS, black voters. She gets women, working-class voters and Hispanics.

Hillary support is among the lower income bracket does it mean they are less educated? No, maybe the working people are not politcal junkies and keep up with politcal items. Hispanic voters dont know engouh about Clinton to make informed dicision, but maybe the Hispanics dont trust Obama with immigration. Clinton family is pretty shady to begin with, but all the opponets know not to undestimate the Clinton Machine.

"Educated voters" probably refers to white men with college degrees who don't fall into any other category. If you're assuming women, working class, and Hispanic voters are less educated than Obama supporters and that's why they support Clinton, then you've just defied that theory.

I simply offered the comment as a result of the Associated Press reporting on the subject. It does appear that those who read and/or research the candidates would easily uncover the long list of baggage that comes along to any potential Clinton Presidency. While those that don't have the time, resources or capability of researching the candidates fully may fall prey to the emotional pleas of Bill and Hillary.

Considering that I am a professional with advanced education I strongly disagree. There are plenty of us that strongly support Hillary Clinton!

I don't think education level or ability to take time to research candidates necessarily determines whom anyone is going to vote for. Lets face it, educated or not, most of America get their candidate information on what is reported on the evening news and what face appears on television commercials. I think Obama will gain popularity in this manner due to his persona and the image that is portrayed. Clinton will have supporters and detractors due to her husband and her ability to be outspoken on issues. Educated or not, it is easy to get swept up in the media frenzy which surrounds each candidate.

agrees with the original post

Working class/ high school educated voters are Hillary's target audience, this is obvious because its the target for any incumbent because these people generally vote off of name recognition and party lines.
