CNN exit polls showed that about 65% of those who earn less than $15,000 voted for Democrat Kerry in 2004. And, about 65% of those who earn MORE than $200,000 voted for Republican Bush.
I believe the polls also showed that Republicans were also more likely to be regular church-goers.
So is a person's willingness to support a party's platform largely determined by his/her income and belief in religion?

We are suppose to be able to vote how ever we want to without income being a factor, but the truth is education, and income have a big influence. The better our education is the better income we have, the better our income the better educated we are. Therefore the better informed decisions we are supposed to be able to make. How true is this? Beats me. Seems to me if we were really an educated country we'd do away with the "party" system altogether and vote for the best and most qualified person without the prejudice of a "party"

This is absolutely false.
There are lots of super rich democrats (almost all of the CEOs of fortune 500 companies), and there are plenty of Republicans of modest means, (like 90% of Rush Limbaugh's audience).
Religious belief, may be a minor factor, but religious people are in the majority in both parties, so maybe being religious makes you more likely to participate in politics; but not decide what party to join.

And this means what exactly .
Are you saying that people who earn less money and pay less taxes vote for democrats and people with money who pay more taxes vote for republicans .
Common knowledge says that the rich do not get richer during the republican years .
Thats why they make it hard on the poor during those years .
The swing vote is always the upper middle class .
And they tend not to go to church .
The only rich people going to church are those people who want to be seen by others to get support or something else like more business for their law firm or plumbing business .
Church is a marketing opportunity for business owners and truth is that anyone stupid enough to part with a dime that does not get two back is an idiot .
If God needed anything at all its not your ten dollar donation or your 10,000 dollar donation .
Only fools worship in a burning house like Churches who have sold you on the idea that you are not going to die except in a physical sense that what makes you "you " is going to live on in heaven or hell or be reincarnated .
How stupid is that .
You wonder what it means to make 15,000 a year and vote for a loser like Bush because 40% of them did .

Women voters will vote for Hillary Clinton without regard to income or Religion.

I believe that religious belief is a better predictor of whether one will tend to vote democratic or Republican. That is why religion is irrevocably tied to politics. Ones core beliefs should and most often do dictate their political leanings.

Not in my case.
My political beliefs are based upon the possibilities our current system of government offers my children and grandchildren, knowing that they will always be greater than any guarantees.

Absolutely false nice try though. People really should stop buying into false stereotypes aimed at dividing Americans and pitting us against each other for the gain of a few insiders and activists

religion...not a lack of it by one side but a different interpretation...I am liberal and believe in God, but I am not one to join a group telling me what I need to believe in order to be "good"...but then I went to Quaker church when I was young...God does not live in outer space and this world (and what we do to it) matters more than the next
