source for stats on the parties?

[Lisa0825]

Over the years, I remember it pretty much always being a Dems vs pugs fight when it came to minimum wage. Does anyone know if there is a site with stats on the parties' voting trends on subjects such as this?

Also, considering the rich getting richer and richer, is there a place for stats on incomes vs party identification?

Preferably a site that doesn't give commentary so the people I am arguing with won't bitch about partisanship? :evilgrin:
