Hi,

Here are some demographic factors that influence people’s political
views and likelihood they will vote:

1. Age 
2. Income
3. Education
4. Religion
5. Union membership
6. Membership in civic organizations
7. Occupation
8. Place of residence
9. Marital status
10. Home ownership
11. Number of children
12. Whether parents voted and their political viewpoint
13. How long a person has lived somewhere
14. Race or ethnic background
15. A person’s sex

The factors that have influenced me the most are probably age (I
became of voting age during the Vietnam War, when political activism
was very high among young adults), profession (I spent much of my
adult life as a journalist, which kept me in touch with political
issues) and religion (my faith has given me an idealism that has led
to a generally liberal voting pattern).

This answer was based on personal knowledge and a background that
includes a degree in political science. You can also find other
information by following links using the Google search term of “voting
demographics” (without the quotes).
