What was surprising about this set of data was the differences of college and non-college voters percentages. Between 1972 and 2004, the non-college voter turnout percentages were lower overall than those of college voters altogether. The range of non-college voter percentages were roughly 10%-35%. The range for college voters was about 24%-68%, a significantly higher range as compared to non-college voters. It was surprising to see how less people who weren't in college or had college experience voting turned out. I would have thought that it would be a lot higher than college voters.



When referring to the gender and the amount of percentages with the turnout, I expected there to be a higher amount of females that voted than males. From 1972 to 2004, the percentages for both males and females were pretty close to each other. As you can see from above, there were more males some years and less males other years. It seems as though both of the percentages balance out each other.

It's interesting because the turnout for Latino males was much lower than African American males every year. It seems as though black males age 30 and over had a significantly higher turnout across the board. The range for Latinos was about 29%-40% while black males percentages stayed in the high 50th percentile.



With the line graph you can clearly see that the percentages of voters that were high school graduates decrease every year. After 1982, the percentages dropped a lot. The percentages of males that had less than a high school education were not that high to begin with. Based on the graph the blue line begins at 10% while the HS Grads start close to 35%.



With the line graph you can clearly see that the percentages of voters that were high school graduates decrease every year and then increased a bit more towards the end.
