How Does Credit Rating Relate to Presidential Support?

Wallethub

The economic website Wallethub recently asked an interesting political question: How do the credit scores of Americans affect the candidate they will vote for? The site asked people who they plan to vote for, what their credit score is and even how they stand on controversial issues such as climate change. Some of the findings: 60% of John Kasich’s supporters have good credit, the highest of any candidate. 26% of Hillary Clinton supporters have bad credit, the most of anyone in the race.

As for the earth’s climate, 96% of Bernie Sanders supporters believe climate change is real, the highest number for any candidate. Only 50% of Ted Cruz supporters and 65% of Donald Trump supporters believe in climate change.

The average credit score of those who does not believe in climate change was found to be slightly higher than those who do.
