Hypothesis and Rationale Bivariate The amount of total family Income has no effect on which political party a family wishes to be affiliated with. The higher a families' total income is causes no change in their political affiliation. In this way a larger percentage of those families who made 40,000 or more and being affiliated with moderate politics, identified with the families making 39,999 or less who too were moderate affiliated. Family Total Income Political affiliation

Hypothesis and Rationale  Multivariate The amount of total family income among blacks and whites, who makes 39,000 or less or 40,000 or more,  does not seem to have any effect on their political affiliation. The higher a families total income is has no bearing on their political affiliation whether they are black or white. In this way a larger percentage of blacks who made 39,000 or less were moderate while those who made between 40000 and 59,000 were cons. and larger percentage of those blacks who made 60000 or more varied between liberals, moderate and conservative. A larger portion of whites who made 39000 or less and 40000 or more identified with eachother by being moderate affiliated. Race Total Family income Political affiliation
