Hillary Captures Less-Educated, Unhappy People. Obama Supporters Tend to be Happier. Anyone Surprised?

So smart people are less likely to vote for Hillary.

Her supporters are more likely to be low IQ and high school dropouts.

Answer 1

Seriously? I bet even Hillary's dumbest supporters are smarter than the idiots that voted for Bush. Talk about buyer's remorse. I hope his "family values" crowd is happy with him making abortions and gay marriages illegal (oh wait, he didn't do that either).

Answer 2

I have no idea...my grandfather is 70+years old with a 6th grade education and he supports Obama...I think anyone can see through Hillary's bs but she uses the "When I was in the White House...things were so good" ploy that works with a lot of those people.

Answer 3

I'll grant you that Hillary follows the usual Democrat strategy of going after the least educated, least successful and most unhappy people*. I think it's a continuum, B.O.'s and Edwards supporters are somewhat happier and somewhat more successful, while Republicans are even happier and more successful.

* And I totally agree with your comments, "So smart people are less likely to vote for Hillary.

Her supporters are more likely to be low IQ and high school dropouts."

I am basing this on the people that fawn over her husband (and face it, Hillary is only known because of her husband). But as I said, I think this is true of all Democrats, yesterday the Governor of Maryland just passed a tax hike making it the highest taxed state in the U.S. Everyone seems surprised. Why are they surprised, he said he was going to raise taxes when he ran and they voted him in. How dumb is that?

Answer 4

Obama is tooo inexperienced to be President and he has been associated with too many anti-American, corrupted groups.

He doesn't have a clue.

Answer 5

Does the poll examine WHY Clinton's supporters report themselves to be "less happy"? Could it be dissatisfaction with the CURRENT administration?

Answer 6

Once again, we see a con Republican trying to turn a national election for the most powerful and influential office in the world into a popularity contest. Must be why they are all so in love with Frankenberry Thompson, a "candidate" who, it turns out, STILL hasn't formally done the paperwork to run for the Office of President of the US and, as an undeclared candidate, should not have been allowed to attend debates. But then. following rules isn't really something Republicans are too keen on, is it?

Perhaps you will vote for Miss Universe, since HER followers are happiest of all?

Answer 7

It's her "Robin Hood" agenda that is attractive. Those in the country who have not will be provided for if she is elected.

-free healthcare
-free day care
-free $5k baby bond
-free 401k matching
-taking private companies profits for government use

What her supporters don't understand is that all that stuff is *not* free at all. Either that, or they just don't care.

Answer 8

I heard this on a morning news program a couple of days ago...I didn't know that until the report was released. I'm not surprised though. She has geared her campaign towards them with her promises to give them stuff.

Answer 9

No surprise.

But the supporters of all the Democrat Candidates want to raise taxes on us Working People.

That's because the majority of Democrats live off our taxes.

Some are happy. Some are unhappy because they want more of our taxes.

Answer 10

Don't worry, Hillary and Bill are very good at convincing stupid, uneducated people that they are really miserable without them in spite of how they feel.
