Trump supporters vs Clinton supporters

The areas where the two groups differ the most? Credit card rewards and interest. Thirty-three percent of Clinton voters say they use credit cards that pay points or other rewards, and 24 percent say they prefer cash back. Only 11 percent say they take advantage of low interest credit cards.

Over on Team Trump, 25 percent say they use cards that offer points or miles while 26 percent choose cash back cards. Low interest cards are popular among 18 percent of his supporters.

In other words, Clinton supporters are much more likely to pay the bills in full rather than borrow--so they don't care about the interest rate.

I would have predicted this anyway. Donald Trump supporters are supposed to be poor angry whites and they obviously aren't going to have a lot of money to begin with.

Considering that the most common point rewards cards involve airline miles and gasoline vouchers, can we indirectly infer that Clinton supporters are more likely to regularly travel long distances than Trump supporters?

Also, who are these 16-17% of people in both camps who don't use credit cards? Are they the financially irresponsible people who can't get a credit card because they blew their credit score? Or are they ancient luddites who stalk the social security office? Or are they merely people who use Debit cards exclusively? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe I'll just google.

BankRate.com says 63% of millenials (19-29) don't have any credit cards. Why? The most popular answer is... They just don't want any. Huh.

Personally, I've been milking free money from my credit card company for years now (probably more than a thousand dollars by now) by paying for monthly expenditures stuff with their card and then paying off the balance every month.

Have you ever heard the saying ,can't see the wood for the trees?

Sometimes when you concentrate on the minute details of a problem, you lose sight of the overall picture; in other words you focus on the unimportant, rather than on the important things. You miss the big picture. And that's what the expression "can't see the wood for the trees" means.

In phony democracies this is what people discuss.

How do you reach this conclusion??

"much more likely"? The stats would be interpreted as 89% of Clinton supporters don't take advantage of low interested credit cards versus 82% of Trump supporters. Even if the error in the study were 0%, I wouldn't call 89% "much more likely" than 82%.

Good point...who should give a fuck what Trump or Clinton supporters like. Both of these candidates should never see office. They are the worst form of politicians...money grubbing liars (in Clinton's case) and advocates of vicious authoritarian violence (in the case of Trump and Cruz). This kind of politics can only be described as phony democracy.

We are not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination. I don't get what the pictures are supposed to mean. Are these people supposed to be "evil" Trump or Sanders supporters? What are you implying here?

[arkirk]

Is THIS the EVIL Bernie Sanders you are trying to portray here? He don't have enough hair to be Trump.

I would--it's about 50% more.

If there were 100 people, and 82 don't take advantage of low interest credit cards, wouldn't 50% more of 82 be 82+41 = 123? 89-82 = 7, and 7/82 = 8.5%. Am I somehow thinking about this wrong?

Besides, studies always seem to have errors of +/-4% or so, so it's possible the difference is negligible.

Don't try to apply logic to this nonsense.

It's very important to elect the president who's supporters have the right qualities.

Don't try that fancy maths woo with us.

I know that this political stuff gets everyone worked up into a frenzy, but it doesn't help to just blow things out of proportion, like saying that 89% of one group doing something means "much more likely" than 82% of another group. I'm just trying to defend intellectual honesty here, something obviously lacking in most political discussion, I know.

I was looking at it the other way around--the percentage that do.

As for that +/- 4% (which I do agree is typical--it's the error margin you get from typically-sized surveys), you don't get to apply it to both numbers.
