Based on percentages like 50 to 48% and 49 to 48%? Those numbers indicate to me that both parties have bases that go across the income stratas with the dems leaning lower income to a small extent
What these numbers tell me is that Trump's support is not, on the whole, working class though. That was the original point. And the people who didn't vote fell into those general categories too.
And more than half (56%) of nonvoters reported annual family incomes under $30,000. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents made up a 55% majority of nonvoters; about four-in-ten (41%) nonvoters were Republicans and Republican leaners.
Here's a good roundup: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...yth-most-trump-voters-were-not-working-class/
