Education's Role In Our Elections

Connor McMahon

This project examines the relationships between education levels and vote choice in the 2024 Presidential election, conditional on whether they live in urban or rural areas of Pennsylvania. The project uses exit poll survey results collected by college students across Pennsylvania on election day. I expect that more educated people were more likely to vote for Kamala Harris, but the margin was less prominent in rural areas.
