Notes: Based on registered voters. Whites and blacks include only those who are not Hispanic; Hispanics are of any race. In 2008 and 2012 there was insufficient sample size to report on Hispanics. In 2008, postgrad include those with some postgraduate experience but no degree; 2012-2016 includes only those with a postgraduate degree. Q10/10a.
