Dr. Jason Weeden: A Social Analysis

When looking at demographics the situation is not just black and white. Although most upper class citizens tend to vote Republican and most lower class tend to vote Democrat, there are a few outliers to this claim. In states such as Kansas and schools such as Harvard Democrats win over the lower class whites by an inch rather than a mile (Weeden). Citizens with a high income tend to be more conservative when speaking on certain issues. In contrast people with a low income tend to be more liberal on certain ideas. But according to Dr. Jason Weeden, co-author of The Hidden Agenda of the Political Mind (Princeton University Press, 2014), people with more education tend to be more liberal on issues such as school prayer, immigration, and others.
