[lbo-talk] SES and the Dem primary

[Doug Henwood]

We've looked at race and sex as factors in the Democratic  
presidential campaign (and separately examined the role of ideology  
and religious belief on the Republican side). The Clinton-Obama  
contest includes another crucial variable to watch: socioeconomic  
status. With remarkable consistency, Hillary Clinton has done better  
with lower-education and -income groups, Barack Obama with higher  
ones. It may matter in Wisconsin today, in Texas, and perhaps more  
than anywhere else, in Ohio on March 4.
