Wal-Mart have started in Arkansas diffusing outwards
沃爾瑪是在阿肯色周起家的，隨后其經營范圍向周邊擴散
It's interesting that New Hampshire
有趣的是新罕布什爾州
A very independent purple state shows up there as well
一個非常獨立的紫色州也在其經營范圍內
What else trying to show here is the blue states
我還想表現出的一個觀點是
Democratic states were generally associate with cosmopolitanism
親民主黨的州普遍地表現出一種世界主義的特征
I can not find any map shows that
我找不到任何能表現它們這種特征的地圖
I don't know how would you measure that? How would you map it?
不知道你們怎么衡量世界主義的表現？怎樣通過地圖來展現這種特點？
I spend a long time trying to find maps this is the best I could do, not very good
我找了很久能表現這種特質的地圖，但只找到這兩幅，說明性并不太強
What about education?
我們再來看看教育因素對投票傾向的影響
Well, this shows again at the national level
現在你們看到的是一個全國范圍內的統計數據
it looks like, education is clearly correlated with Democratic voting
現在來受教育程度越高的人越傾向于支持民主黨
so this is the percent of the vote for Kerry in 2004
這是04年克里在各學歷選民中的支持率
those who did not graduate from college has some college or less 47% voting for Kerry
那些沒有上大學，或者大學沒有畢業的人有47%支持克里
college degree or more evenly split and post-graduate degree 55% voting for Kerry
獲得大學學位的選民中則剛好有一半支持他，有研究生學歷的選民中55%支持克里
This sort of thing makes same like it's pretty clear
這個規律已經表現得很明顯了
A substantial number of post-graduate people with post-graduate degrees voting for Bush
當然，仍然有大量的研究生支持布什
Yes, but we still see this tendency other ways of looking at it show us the same sort of thing
但這個趨勢我們是可以看到的，從另一些數據分析我們可以得出同樣的結果
what I done here is taking the most educated states as measured in percentive people who have bachelor degree of higher
這里衡量一個州教育水平的方法，是通過計算該州大學及以上學歷人口占總人口比重
So starting with Massachusetts with 37% of the population
首先來看馬薩諸塞州，有37%的人獲得大學以上學歷
this would be the highest states over here from the highest, from the top down to the top six
這是這里顯示的幾個州當中比例最高的，這里分別列出受教育最高最低的州各六個
and west Virginia this would be the lowest 15%
西維吉尼亞州是該比重最低的一個州，只有15%
with the bottom six states over here
它下面的是該比重最低的倒數六名
so we can see then the percent voting for Bush low except Colorado, another purple state
同時我們看到，除了科羅拉多，其他州對他支持率都較低，科羅拉多也是個搖擺州
state right now trending in the Democratic direction but voting pretty clearly for Bush 4 years ago
當前比較傾向于民主黨，但4年前該州毫無疑問是支持布什的
New Hampshire right in the middle as far as voting goes
在新罕布什爾州兩黨支持率不相上下
But Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut very clearly voting for John Kerry
但馬里蘭，新澤西和康涅狄格州都是明顯支持約翰克里的
On the other side, it's even the pattern is more definite
再看右邊的數據，規律更加明顯
All states with low levels of education
所有教育程度低的州
as measured in this way voted pretty heavily for George Bush
衡量方法同上，都明顯地支持喬治布什
Many of them, 60% of them are over
在好幾個州布什的支持率甚至超過60%
you can see Alabama that was the strongest Republican voting states that we had.
你可以看到阿拉巴馬州是顯示數據中共和黨支持率最高的一個
What's interesting is if we measure it in a different ways
有趣的是，如果用另一種方式來衡量教育程度
we find different patterns
會發現不一樣的規律
