Actually, across the country, Trump handily won voters who made more than $50k/year.



What was the breakdown of households making over $250K/year?

(I don't actually know and a few minutes spent googling didn't turn up anything conclusive/satisfying.)


Trump won by 2% in that category. Lots of info here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/el...


Thanks for that link! Some fascinating (and frustrating) data there.


Forgive my saying, but I don't think it's that frustrating. I really do expect rich people to vote for a ham sandwich if that ham sandwich runs as a Republican. Unless they're unusually far-sighted rich people who really care about ecological and sociological stability for maintaining their wealth, a lot of those tax plans must just sound too damned appetizing to pass up.
