Your assumption...
Or public servants perhaps such as "our hardworking" nurses who can retire on full generous pensions at 55?
I went back and found the link and pdf, I coudnt find anything on methodology beyond its a big survey and/or confidence interval's etc.
I'd love to believe people with higher educational levels are more Labour than low (it would explain the household budget idiocy of Austerity) but I need a bit more to go on...

The first sentence is a fact based on the table.
The second sentence is a reasonable assumption due to the skew in the number towards non working people voting labour and therefore likely to be attracted by more state help as would lower paid.
Which part don't you understand?
Wow at Tim Farron quiting because he's likely a homophobe.
Even as a gay person I think the Tim Darrin thing was blown way out of proportion ... And the gays I knew didn't see it as an issue.
He's entitled to his beliefs .... And he still had a good track record on his voting on equality. I'd only question his religion if it interfered with his duties on voting for equality laws. I think he did well to keep it separate.
Labour's manifesto wasn't about taxing the rich to give an income to the perennially unemployed. It was about tackling low-pay, the employers that aren't paying a fraction of what it actually costs to live, and exploitative practices.
I dunno - if you control for area then I wouldn't be too surprised to see say working Tories earning more on average than working Labour voters
As noted at the start of the campaign, the class divide in British politics seems to have closed and it is no longer a very good indicator of voting intention. Despite dramatic voter movements towards Labour over the past few weeks this theme has held reasonably consistent: Labour is now 4% behind amongst ABC1 voters and 2% behind amongst C2DE voters.
The picture is a bit more mixed if we split this out further, with Labour doing best amongst DE voters (semi-skilled and unskilled manual occupations, unemployed people and those in the lowest grade occupations) and the Tories doing best amongst C2 voters (skilled manual occupations).
That's going to be largely covered by the socioeconomic grade.
no, it is going to be covered by income:

How are Labour 27% or below in all categories when they polled 40% of the vote overall?
Data is a bit old - this is from April... back when more people supported the Tories anyway.
Might be better to reference actual voter survey data then, rather than opinion poll data:

After all, it's believing those opinion polls that got the Tories into the mess of calling a snap election in the first place.

also interesting to see the increase in Lib Dem voters as education level increases

(though I think age is likely a confounder in both cases)
