Pew Reseaerch: Money Talks

A fresh Pew Research survey of Republicans and Democratics revealed attitudes about government roles and performance that tend to diverge not only by party sympathy, but by family income. Of interest are some of the start points regarding certain questions, such as access to health care or ensuring access to quality education. Even among those who would appear to be economically challenged these issues produce divergent responses across party lines. The response are underpinned by the harsh reality of lackluster political engagement regardless, with those at the lower end of the earning curve being disengaged the most. The survey results may serve as a guide for those trying to reach potential voters at either end of the ideological and/or income scale.
