I don't see a source link so I'm not 100% positive its true, but I'm sure theres a real source out there.

well youd hope the central US would vote bush since it really doesn't want to depend on the government to take care of them. please, noone make me look like a fool, my state averages 92 in IQ.

thanks.

It's definitely skewed. It costs more to live in many of the "blue" states is higher, so in turn the average income would have to be higher.

If I moved to CA, I would received quite a raise for cost of living adjustments.

I think it's more metropolitian areas, or states (like in the NE) where city meets city and there's no 'real' suburb or real rural areas to be found.

Atlanta for instance: One of the highest job income cities in the southeast. Go 150 miles in any direction(except west to B'ham), and you're back to minimum wage being the norm, not the abnorm like it is in the city here.

That's interesting to look at. I always suspected SC was low on the list!

Interesting data and there is probably some correlation, but it's a conclusion based on incomplete and faulty assumptions. He even mentions that the article for the basis of his data was retracted.

Having a 17 year old who took the SATs last spring and summer, I did a little research last year on SAT scores.

Problems:
SAT scores are not an IQ test and do not accurately convert to IQ. This has been and is an ongoing controversy with experts arguing both sides.

There are multiple conversion formulas out there. Some of them produce ridiculous results at the extremes of the Bell curve.

SAT takers by definition are not of voting age and as such cannot you cannot equate their IQ to that of voters.

Not all Voters took SAT tests, and not all SAT Test takers are voters.

For CT having such a high average IQ there is a lot of "retards" there. As for Mass, Im glad it made 2nd.

Eric, try looking at the counties that supported Kerry and look at the housing prices and income. Then look at Bush and the housing prices and income. We are talking about a complete separation of social classes like I have never seen.

California
Sonoma Kerry 67% Bush31%
Napa Kerry 60% Bush 39%
San Francisco Kerry 83% Bush 16%
Santa Barbara Kerry 55% Bush 44%
Santa Clara Kerry 64% Bush 35%
Santa Cruz Kerry 73% Bush 25%
Monterey Kerry 60% Bush 39%

Washington
King Kerry 65% Bush 34%

Illinois
Cook Kerry 70% Bush 29%

New York
Manhattan Kerry 82% Bush 17%

Virginia
Arlington Kerry 68% Bush 31%
Arlington Kerry 68% Bush 31%

Check more at CNN.com, they have them all now.

I am looking for counties anywhere that Bush carried by more than the 3 point spread where the education of the population exceeds the national average by any margin and the income exceeds the national average by any margin.

All of this is just interesting trend information and not a whole lot more. It just considers the trends but there are millions of exceptions.

IQ is meaningless BS. It's been proven over and over again.

It's not even trend. It's crap.

Just because a few more rich people voted for Kerry this year doesn't mean crap. The majority of the wealth still voted for Bush.
I am still trying to determine what you are trying to prove with your references to democratic rhetoric.

At lunch, right after the election, I had the pleasure to meet two gentlemen that voted for Kerry. Both of the them were blue collar workers (members of the iron workers union). It was a great conversation but both were uneducated, while I am a degree engineer that voted for Bush. What does that mean? NOTHING! Both were intelligent men that had there reasons for voting for Kerry.

You met two gentlemen who voted. You are a degree engineer who voted. Both were men who had reasons.

I picked up the chair that fell down.

Well it is a thread on intelligence...it was cheap...but I just couldn't help myself...LOL.

Plus, Ab was saying that demographics are largely meaningless. If that's true, then the Republicans should fire Karl Rove so the Democrats can hire him.

Sorry, but it is a trend and factual.

On an individual basis is has no real merit, but as a whole, politically speaking, it is huge.

This is a complete, factual separation of social class on the large scale.

Look at the fact of the big picture, one-by-one is worthless.
