The Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center at the U. of Wyoming just released a survey of WY residents and those who self-identify as Likely Voters. WY is my state-of-residence and the primary is Tuesday, August 16, so I'm interested.
A couple of findings that may be of interest beyond our state's capacious boundaries. Our Representative at large, Liz Cheney, trails Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman among likely voters in the GOP primary by 27.8% to 57.4%. The final outcome shouldn't be in any doubt.
The other finding tends to contradict the stereotypical view of Republicans as non-college grads. This poll found that, among Wyoming's likely GOP primary voters, 46.4% have either a baccalaureate degree (24.8%) or a graduate or professional degree (21.6%).
According to Forbes, 32.1% of the U.S. population has at least a baccalaureate degree. Thus, GOP primary voters in WY are more educated than the average American. This finding doesn't surprise me but it might surprise the national punditry.
