Preferred term

income and voting behavior  

Definition

  • INCOME IS A consistent predictor of voter turnout and party identification, not only in the United States, but across most other countries of the world. Although some anomalies exist, such as the relatively high voter turnout of the poor in India, in most countries the poor are less likely to go to the polling place on Election Day than are those with higher incomes.
