To determine which statement is supported by the table, let's analyze the data provided. The table gives the percentage of people who support different candidates categorized by their household income levels.
Let's summarize the key points from the table:
1. Under [tex]$50k Income:
- 36% of respondents have an income under $[/tex]50k.
- 53% of them support Clinton.
- 41% support Trump.
- 6% support other candidates or did not answer.
2. [tex]$50k - $[/tex]100k Income:
- 30% of respondents have an income between [tex]$50k and $[/tex]100k.
- 46% support Clinton.
- 49% support Trump.
- 5% support other candidates or did not answer.
3. [tex]$100k or More Income:
- 30% of respondents have an income of $[/tex]100k or more.
- 47% support Clinton.
- 47% support Trump.
- 6% support other candidates or did not answer.
From this data:
- While there is some variation in candidate support across different income levels, the differences are not drastic. For example, for the highest income bracket ($100k or more), both Clinton and Trump have equal support (47%), and for the other brackets, the differences are also relatively small.
Given this information, we can conclude that:
- Household income does have some influence on political ideology but it doesn't show a strong or consistent pattern.
- Therefore, the appropriate statement supported by the table is:
Household income may be a weak indicator of political ideology.
