<\/a>\u201cI love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That\u2019s the America dream, that\u2019s the American way, that\u2019s terrific.<\/font>\u201d <\/em>Soweit am 30.10.2008 B. Obama in Sarasota auf einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung.<\/p>\n

Nun: 2004 finanzierten die Forbes<\/em>-Reichen und Top-Vorst\u00e4nde aus 674 Firmen und Investoren zu 53 % Bush und zu nur 16 % Kerry; Bush dominierte in \u00d6l und Arzneimittelindustrie, Kerry in Investmentbanken und Hedgefunds (!). Daniel Gross dagegen machte 2004 in Slate <\/a>eine andere Argumentation auf: wer zwischen 1 und 10 Mio $ verdient, votiertezu 63:37 f\u00fcr Bush statt Kerry. Die Haute Millionaires dagegen favorisierten Kerry mit 59:41 %. Auch f\u00fcr 2008 sei dieser Trend <\/a>zu sehen – dominierten in zuvor an Bush gefallenen der 25 reichsten St\u00e4dten oftmals noch die Republikaner, aber ihre Dominanz schrumpfte massiv.<\/p>\n

Mark Penn, einer der zentralen Berater Clintons, schrieb in Politico<\/a>:<\/p>\n

„the most affluent 5 percent supported Obama and that was perhaps the key to his victory last week. <\/em>This group\u00a0\u2014 and the rise of a new elite class of voters\u00a0\u2014 is at the heart of the fast-paced changes in demographics affecting the political, sociological and economic landscape of the country. While there has been some inflation over the past 12 years, the exit poll demographics show that the fastest growing group of voters in America has been those making over $100,000 a year in income. In 1996, only 9 percent of the electorate said their family income was that high. Last week it had grown to 26 percent\u00a0\u2014 more than one in four voters. And those making over $75,000 are up to 15 percent from 9 percent. Put another way, more than 40 percent of those voting earned over $75,000, making this the highest-income electorate in history. The poorest segment of the electorate, those making under $15,000, has shrunk from 11 percent to 6 percent over the past dozen years. And those making $15,000 to $30,000 annually\u00a0\u2014 the working poor\u00a0\u2014 also shrunk from 23 percent to 12 percent of the electorate. At the same time, the voters have become more racially diverse (with white voters dropping 9 points from 1996 to 74 percent\u00a0of the electorate and minorities) and better educated\u00a0\u2014 voters who had attended some college are surging. While Obama received record votes from the expanded minority communities, that alone would not have led to victory had he not also secured so much support among the growing professional class\u00a0\u2014 and in doing so went beyond the successful 1996 coalition that also climbed the income ladder to include newly targeted soccer moms. Back then, President Clinton got 38 percent of the vote among those making over $100,000. This year Obama earned 49 percent of that vote. He also got 52 percent of a new polling category\u00a0\u2014 those making over $200,000 a year who were no longer among the top 1 percent of earners, as they had been in past elections, but were now the top 6 per cent.“ <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nach den aktuellen Exit-Polls<\/a> w\u00e4hlten die Einkommensgruppe > 200 000 $ im Jahr zu 52 % Obama und zu 46 % McCain\u00a0 (das sind 6 % der W\u00e4hler), wogegen die Einkommensgruppen 50-75 ooo %, 100-150 000 $ und 150-200 000 McCain \u00fcber Obama pr\u00e4ferierten mit 49 :48, 51:48 und 52:46 %. Die Einkommensgruppe 75-100 000 $ (21 % der W\u00e4hlerschaft) votierte mit 52:48 % f\u00fcr Obama, W\u00e4hler < 50 000 $ Einkommen w\u00e4hlten ihn zu 60 % ebenfalls. Damit schnitt Obama unter der Gruppe > 200 000 $ zu 15 % besser ab als Kerry vor vier Jahren, der damals <\/a>nur 35 % der Stimmen erhielt.\u00a0 Frank’s Wealth-Blog vermerkt<\/a>, dass die Steuerpolitik der Kandidaten ausschlaggebend sei: f\u00fcr die reichen Million\u00e4re ist sie eher irrelevant und die avisierte geringe Steuererh\u00f6hung Obamas spielt keine wahlentscheidende Rolle. Nach einer Vor-Wahl-Umfrage von Prince & Associates von 493 Familien gelte dieser Unterschied auch f\u00fcr Verm\u00f6gende: in der Gruppe von 1-10 Mio.$ wollten eine Mehrheit (fast 3\/4) f\u00fcr McCain und nur 15 % f\u00fcr Obama w\u00e4hlen, in der Gruppe von > 30 Mio $ dominierte Obama: 2\/3 der Reichen in dieser Gruppe wollten Obama w\u00e4hlen. F\u00fcr sie sind „social issues“, „policies dealing with wars“, die Nominierungen f\u00fcr die obersten Gerichte und die Gesundheitspolitik gegen\u00fcber der Steuerpolitik vorrangig, wogegen unter den \u00e4rmeren Reichen diese von 88 % als „wichtig“ charakterisiert wurde. Die Reichen in den \u00e4rmeren Bundesstaaten der USA tendierten dagegen durchg\u00e4ngig eher zu den Republikanern. Traditionell favorisierte \u00fcbrigens jetzt der High-Tech-Sektor und der Finanzsektor <\/a>Obama. Auch Andrew Gelman <\/a>best\u00e4tigt diese herausragende Rolle der Demokraten unter den oberen Einkommensgruppen (die \u00fcbrigens keineswegs als die Superrich <\/em>bezeichnet werden k\u00f6nnen).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
