Affluent Americans Increasingly Vote for Democrats

Washington Post: “During the administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, affluent Americans who benefited from tax cuts were more likely to be Republicans. The political party they supported delivered material benefits that boosted their pocketbooks. Democratic voters, by comparison, were more likely to be working or middle class.”

“Now, more than half of upper-income families — defined as those earning more than $215,400 per year — vote Democratic.”
