The college graduate vote swings slightly Republican. The post-graduate vote swings more than slightly Democrat. Overall, Republican voters are smarter, more educated, happier, healthier and wealthier. I'm not gloating or anything as I never bothered to even finish college. This is just my understanding of how things are and I've heard the facts back it up. Theres a myth about Republicans being bumpkins from the flyover states and the people from those states may very well vote for Republicans, but a lot of successful, well-educated college graduates also vote Republican. Just maybe not your average Doctor of Philosophy or whatnot.
