Americans across all income brackets agree that the Democrats are the party of the middle class. There is no majority within any income bracket under $100,000 in yearly income that believes the Republican party "cares about the middle class." This perception among the lower and middle classes that the GOP does not care about their class interests may be indicative of Americans' willingness to vote with social policies rather than personal economic situation in mind.
