Poll question: Let's clear this up: Are most Kerry supporters part of the liberal elite?
Some people criticize Kerry's so-called inability to relate to "normal" people.

For the purposes of this poll, elite will be defined as:

Income level: A six-figure salary or higher

AND/OR

Education: A Masters degree or higher

1. I'm in the last catagory
Kerry's alright by me, even if he isn't my first choice...and I'm not elite by anyone's standards. :D

2. Heh. You can't possibly believe
that you can clear anything up through this poll. It measures nothing but DU opinion, and internet polls are about as reliable as using a deck of tarot cards.

3. Seems pretty straightforward
It's not my opinion that I make less than six figures. It's a fact. It's not my opinion that I have a BA and not an MA. It's a fact. And it's not my opinion that Kerry is my first choice. He simply is my first choice.

4. I'm in the last category, but he's actually my second choice
just behind Gore, so he probably may as well be my first choice,since Gore probably won't run.

5. So, that settles it!
Most Kerry supporters are not elitist. I guess that meme can be disposed of. :rofl:

6. grew up working class poor, I have achieved a comfortable lifestyle now,
but still have to work for a living. I still consider myself middle class and I fully support Senator Kerry.
