CNN

So at 25, I'll stop supporting Obama and the change he may mean for this country and start using sophisticated, enlightened terminology like, "Duh."

I'll bet what ever study said we're not sharp till we're 25, used a definition of sharp written by a 40 year old.

Fired up, ready to go! 'm Asian, not a geek, over 60, post college degreed and I'm definitely voting for OBAMA! Yes, he can!!!

Yes, it is even worse in California. According to exit polls, those without a HS diploma voted for Hillary by 80%

She also has a convincing edge over gays/lesbians/bisexuals.

You make the call.

I have no idea how you people twist the data in your favor. It is clear that the educated prefer Obama. Regardless of age, EDUCATION is objective. HAve you wondered where the kids get their education? FROM THE OLD EXPERIENCED EDUCATED TEACHERS. Most of the time, YOUNG PEOPLE are swayed by their TEACHERS. Educated people do not support Hillary because of her ideas. For example: HEALTHCARE For Everyone.
If she succeeds
-Will promote recession in america
-Destroy incentives for people to get a job
-Destroying Capitalistic beliefs for socialist ones

Healthcare is not a RIGHT. Healthcare is earned. If you want a higher chance to lose your job. I suggest you vote for Clintion. Obama's change is for the working family. WORKING is the key word.

Vote Obama

BA, BS, MBA – Voting for Hillary!

Who gives a crap whose educated and uneducated.. we vote for honest, intelligent, trusting, (etc...) candidate....

I am trusting in Obama.. Hope he wins this..
Obama 08! Ur the Best!

IF Obama wins the presidency, I will be laughing at everyone who voted for "change" when no change comes to fruition.

Oh, UCLA B.A., J.D. under 30 voting for Hillary.

I'd just like to say this is a POLL..so It shouldn't really be affecting the way you decide to vote anyways unless you let it..I an see that a lot of you are upset by this poll..I have no idea why? They're just reporting 'trends' which some people (ie: political analysist's find useful) so don't take them to heart. Also, I agree that Hilary is a bit 'tactful' in her campaigning- her main 'theory' so to speak was used directly off what she percieved as Obama's 'weakness's'. Anyways, America its in your hands- why should I care? I live in canada! but its not lookin to good to me at the moment..best of luck with whatever happens. Somebody made a comment about the Bill Clinton era..that would be an irrational way to vote to say the least..

m chan, take her, with my blessing.

I am 32 have a BA and African American and when wisconsin's primary rolls around I will be voting for Hillary.

It takes time, to turn book sense, into common sense. I really don't believe that you achieve anything, with an I-pod, on your ears, try watching and listening and reading the news. It's true, we old people never went to college,as you say. We did take what book sense, we got, and turned it into common sense and it shows.
We know the problems, we've been there,done that, also we know the issues, as we are living most of them. You will too, one day, wait and see. So please don't sell your senior's short. We learned life isn't a 24 hour party. You have to work hard, It doesn't come easy, as you will learn. We have always wanted, a better life then ours, for our kids, and grandkids, We vote, with this notion, to do just that. We have been dupped many times,by our vote. You will be too. So know, what, or who you are voting for, don't go by hearsay, know the facts, even then, it's a gamble.

The poll states that of "ALL people with a college degree" 51% prefer Obama and 41% prefer Clinton. It does not state if you have a college degree that you prefer Obama. And it does not state that if you prefer Clinton you are uneducated. The same applies to age. Obviously with all polls there is margin for error. No need to jump to conclusions over statements that are not including in these statistics.

not sure its factually correct, but ive always had a feeling that the young and smart were obamas and clinton got the rest. i also think that attractive people in general vote for obama and those that maybe are a little on the "plain" side like clinton. just my opinion.

Just proves to me that you can be well educated and still be really stupid enough to vote for any of the Globalist trash running for president.

Did you all ignore the key statement "the more likely" . I guess statistics isn't your forte.

BSc voting for OBAMA!!! its time for change!!

No mention where they did the poll or the 20% margin of error. like Obama leading NH poll .....how did that pan out.

Excuse me? CNN. Over 50 people around me , all of us finished college. at least half of us with phd degree. Most of us vote for Hillary, most of us think Obama is great. But. All of us believe CNN is the worst media at this primary time. Worse than MSNBC, worse than CNBC, worse then Fox!! You know why? Because it is so obvious that CNN is strongly biased towards Obama over Hillary. We are highly educated people and we use our brains to choose president , NOT endorsements, NOT biased reports, we need to know the facts about the candidates and how will they change our country.

How arrogant statement! SO, the ones who vote for Hillary are stupid to you? How arrogant you are!

For all the people boasting about their education and taking offense to this need to calm down. It's just reporting stats, it's not an op-ed accusing people personally. We're all very impressed by your degrees that you've earned just please stop acting like children.

Count me as another intelligent, educated voter for Obama!!

this is not true at all!
We (my husband, me) are highly educated, not old – and we do vote for Hillary!

Lin Cruiz
You seem offended.I think this is a sort of statistics.According to the report If some one voted for hillary,he is likely to be uneducated.But that doesnt mean all voting for hillary are uneducated.

I don't think these numbers are suggesting that only old, uneducated people are voting for Clinton. I'm young, and a student who has not yet earned any degrees, but I can still see from these numbers that nearly half of Clinton's supporters are educated and young. I don't think we need to hear every single one of those supporters naming themselves or their friends as exceptions, we get it.

BBA, MBA, JD voting for Hillary

Charles,

In response to racists. The results show that white people are not voting on race as Obama is winning or evenly splitting them with fewer exceptions than the black vote.

With the black vote it is overwhelmingly for Obama regardless of age or gender.

It seems that blacks are voting more based on race than whites are in any age group.

I would like to see the actual method in which CNN used to find their results regarding those in the plus with a degree and higher salary. I'm guessing their results or method for these 'facts' would not hold up. I find it hard to believe that with the vast number (I believe it was in the 70 or 80 percent range) of blacks voting for Obama that they have a high percentage of degree holders or high salaries.

Clinton today.
Obama tomorrow.
Think ahead dems.

Bill never gives up the based reporting, Funny part is state's Obama wins in are well know for there less then stellar academics

lin, they didn't say that all educated people voted for obama, just MOST. obviously, you fall into the 41% who prefer clinton. no need to get huffy.

nevertheless, i find those statistics interesting. i have to admit that while reading some of the comments on the political ticker, i find myself thinking the same thing.

Nik T from Texas, Now, who is being pretentious?

The true testament of the breakdown is as follows:

Those with a rational brain and good critical thinking skills and adecent memory of what life and the economy was like 8 year ago before Bush came into power – would vote for Hillary Clinton.
Those with a prediliction to vote what is popular beacuse they lack the crtifical thinking skills to do and in this case vote for what is wise and rational reasoning will vote Obama Barack- a candicate that is full or empty rhetoric and lacks experience.

I am hoping that there wisdom will win out – and Hillary will first be the Democratic Nominee for President, and then she will win as your president of the United States thereafter.

And should America not find the wisdom to vote for Hillary Clinton, Canada would be happy to have her come to Canada and run for Prime Minister of Canada if we could – so she could help make Canada even stronger and smarter than it aready is, while you would flounder with Obama Barack or John McCain.

I wouldn't speak so fast. My mother is 82 and she and several others at the senior living home are for Obama along with me – 53. So there are plenty of educated baby boomer and older that are for Obama along with the youngsters. Get Ready. On Fire!!

CNN sorry ,but HILLARY ROCK...

My daughter, who has 2 college degrees, and I, with a BBA and an MBA, are a couple of educated women voting for Hillary Clinton. The CNN and MSNBC people are very annoying with their clear bias for Barak Obama. We are tired of hearing that only old, uneducated women are voting for Hillary. We live in Texas and we cannot wait to vote for Hillary in the Democrat primary and also the General Election.

Lin Cruiz, doesn't sound like your educated... Bill said a 51%-41%... so you are among the 41%.... sheesh...

Obama 08!

My education level and my income level would lead the naive to believe I support Obama. Needless to say, that would be incorrect.

Who has the popular vote? We all know the number, so post it.

Interesting. Who has the popular vote so far? I'm tracking it. Who has the delegates so far? I'm tracking it. Why are you having difficulties sharing your thoughts on these items?

Excuse myself and my friends, but we all have 4 year college degrees and some masters(5) and doctorates(4) and we all voted for Hillary!!!! I guess we are not educated???!!!!....Where do you get your info????...Also other co workers with Bachelors and some post graduate voting for Hillary as well!!!!

This is probably the best poll I have ever seen!! haha

Obama '08!

"Also, did you know, medically, that the human brain does not fully mature for clear cognitive function until around 25 or older?"

Yes, that's why he's carrying 60/40 up to age 39, according to this. Did you know that most creative work in science and mathematics happens before age 40?

It's a generational divide, pure and simple. Let's see, which generation tended to be much more racist.....

Simple explanation. Perhaps too simple, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were the correct explanation.

Ouch...I thought I was among the most educated. I never knew on my 36th birthday last month that I had suddenly become an "older...voter".

Hum.... lets see, I have 2 degrees, must be an Obama supporter.....NOT! Beg your pardon, you left out the "40-50 year olds".... so who am I supposed to support? Excuse me, I think I'm old enough and educated enough to make up my own mind regarding who I'd like to vote for.

I totalled the primary votes for Clinton and Obama, as of 10:15 EST (caucuses excluded). Clinton has 51.8% and Obama has 48.2% (just comparing the two).

So we shouldn't paint this night as a Clinton win- particularly as Obama is winning the caucus states. If Obama takes California (or stays within 2%), he should win more delegates tonight.

Just goes to show that the more educated people are, the more they know about politics and the political candidates, the less the support for Hillary. The worst thing to happen for Hillary's campaign is for people to actually learn about her.

She benefits in a nation-wide campaign where people don't follow her positions as much as when she actually campaigns against Obama.

Hummmm. I guess I be some stupid Hillary supporter then who wasted 6 years of my life of School and still be payin of me some student loan's.

I'm 28, make six figures, speak four languages, hold three degrees (BSEE, MSEE, French, minor in Math), been to more than 40 countries, lived in 8... I will vote for HIllary. I wanna know how many pretentious Obama supporters can match that.

Just goes to show you how important education is. The more educated and aware you are, the more likely you are to vote for Obama....sounds reasonable to me.

Well of course the educated, those with degrees prefer Obama. And that the non-educated prefer Clinton.

He has the younger vote. In today's society it is the norm for kids to go to college and get their degree.

She has the older vote. It was not always so normal to go to college.

Duh.

Also, did you know, medically, that the human brain does not fully mature for clear cognitive function until around 25 or older? lol

Please...I believe you also call us lunch bucket Democrats. Well, I am glad you took your feed bags off long enough to make those statements about us.
