"The findings clearly demonstrate that the Elite Affluent are so wealthy, other issues are more important to them in selecting their country's leader then their personal financial situations," Prince said. "At the same time, the majority of the Upper Affluent, who are rich but still have financial constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference. ["CONSTRAINTS: A Language for Expressing Almost-Hierarchical Descriptions", G.J. Sussman et al, Artif Intell 14(1):1-39 (Aug 1980)]. , are principally voting with their pocketbooks."

"Clearly, the Elite Affluent will continue to be making major luxury goods and services purchases regardless of who wins, whereas a win by Senator Kerry will be of great concern to a significant portion of the Upper Affluent who are already concerned about their own financial situations," Mr. Prince stated. "As we have seen in past research, purchasing of luxury items by the Elite Affluent is not meaningfully impacted by many outside factors including their concern over the economy whereas the less but still wealthy Upper Affluent cut back fairly quickly when they are concerned about their future personal financial situation."
