What about the median? I don't think that statement holds up then. Average is susceptible to outliers

It doesn't answer the median question, but lower income households identify with the Democrats by 58-36. Upper income voters also favor Democrats, but only by 53-46.

The picture of Republicans being the party of the poor relies on a picture of the poor that only includes rural white people.
